Mahesh Rangarajan
Mahesh Rangarajan is among India’s foremost environmental history scholars. The ten essays in this collection, written over more than two decades, focus on environmental shifts and continuities in Asian society and polity, and include comparisons of the subcontinent with the world beyond—especially countries in Asia and Africa, which were once under Western domination. They also include studies of specific historical conjunctures under regimes such as those of Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi, Jomo Kenyatta and Julius Nyerere.
