After the abolition of slavery in British colonies in 1834, many thousand labourers left India under indenture for employment on colonial plantations. Their efforts resulted in a striking rise in exports of plantation products. At the end of their indenture, many Indians decided to settle in their new home, especially' in British Guiana, Trinidad, Mauritius and Fiji. The paper discusses the districts in India from which labourers were recruited; the conditions of service under the indenture system, and its advantages and abuses. It discusses the opportunities open to the Indian labourer at the end of his indenture, and the facilities which the government or the planters provided for his settlement on the land. Those who did not settle on the land turned to the professions or trades, often with success. The paper discusses the attitude of the communities of reception" to the Indian during and after indenture, and his adjustment to a multi-racial society. It analyses his change in outlook as a result of emigration, the increase in his ambition and initiative, and his transition from submissiveness to independence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article discusses about the history of education in India. The history of education in India should be a record of high value to educators and statesmen for India has the second largest educational task in the world. On it live people that speak 225 different languages and dialects. The country presents language, religious and financial problems on a remarkably large scale. The country has been for some time controlled by an Occidental people, it therefore offers opportunity to study the development of education when two different civilizations come in contact and often in conflict.

The article discusses the "Black Hole" incident that happened in Calcutta in connection with the British conquest of India. Innumerable histories, major and minor, record the short but horrible tale; sober encyclopedias give it the respectable stamp of their authority and more recently, solid medical, engineering and psychological textbooks fathered by famous research commissions and past presidents of various scientific and professional associations have by their repeated references thereto all but universalized an awareness of this episode. One hardly encounters any lay or professional discussion of atmospheric or ventilation problems which does not compulsively mention the Black Hole, as though this chapter of technology could not be adequately covered or reported without this scholarly adornment. Later physiological chemists have questioned the popular Victorian explanation that the excess saturation of the available air with carbon dioxide or "human miasma" could have been the responsible cause for the deaths reported but not even these technicians extended their skepticism to the "event" as such.

Analytical in approach, the article discusses the main reasons why there has been a minimum of dialogue between the disciplines of economics and history in the study of Indian economic history since 1600, It underlines the consequent limitations—the shallowness of the economists' contribution to the subject and the pedestrianism of the bulk of the work produced by the historians—emphasizing at the same time the considerable achievements despite such limitations. The author then discusses the possible directions of interchange between history, economics and statistics which may deepen one's understanding of the subject and suggests a broad division of labour, the economists concentrating on the relatively recent period, rich in statistics, and the historians on earlier epochs for which one has to depend primarily on descriptive data. Even then, each would have to learn from the other and seek further support from all other relevant social sciences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
