VI.BIBLIOGRAPHY The literature of land reform is sufficiently extensive and significant to warrant research at the doctoral level. Satish Jha, in his dissertation "Indian Land Reform Research Literature: A Critical Appraisal" (Univ. of Illinois, 1967. University Microfilms, 1969) covered many of the essential issues of distribution, farm size and productivity, cooperative farms, tenancy and ownership. Reading this document is an excellent way to enter current literature. P. T. George of the Gokhale Institute in Poona has prepared an extensive non-annotated bibliography. The typed version ran 42 foolscap pages yet he entitles it "A Select Bibliography of Indian Land Reforms." He also has review articles on land reform in the Indian Journal of Agricultural Economics (January-March and July-September Issues, Vol. 23, The Land Tenure and Agrarian Reform Branch, Rural Institutions For the context of land reform, and an annual, general-type progress report, the reader will find useful the statistical abstract prepared by Publications Division, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Gov't of India entitled "India: A Reference Annual." For some purposes "Indian Agriculture in Brief" may be useful. See also the draft "Fourth Five Year Plan 1969-74" prepared by the Planning Commission, Gov't of India. For two general references with Indian land reform content, one seems almost required to make separate mention of Gunnar Myrdal's "Asian Drama" (1968) and Doreen Warriner's "Land Reform in Principle and Practice" (1969). Historical works from which material in this report was drawn include among others: Vols. 1, B. H. Baden-Powell. The Land Systems of British India. Mounstuart Elphinstone. John Murray. 1866. The History of India. 5th ed. London, Radhakamal Mukerjee. Land Problems of India. London, Longmans, Green and Co., Ltd. 1933. The Planning Commission, Government of India has generated two relatively recent reports: Socio-Economic Research Division, Planning Commission, Gov't of India. Seminar on Land Reforms, Proceeding and Papers, February 1966. Land Reforms Implementation Committee of National Development Council. Implementation of Land Reforms. New Delhi: Planning Commission, Two earlier reports containing some of the philosophy and early progress in land reform are: Congress Agrarian Reforms Committee, Report of. J. C. Kumarappa, Planning Commission, Gov't of India. Progress of Land Reform. 1963. The neophyte to Indian land reform could begin with the above (read only Edwardes in the historical references) and then choose his topic and area. Two new reports, dealing with specific issues in specific states, which are not to be found in references mentioned, are: F. Thomasson Jannuzi. The Agrarian Structure in Bihar: Attempts to change and some Implications, Dept. of Economics, Univ. of Walter Neale. Land Reform in Uttar Pradesh, India, Dept. of Economics, Univ. of Tennessee, 1970 (draft). The document representing the most current official status of land reform is a mimeo report entitled: Gov't of India, Ministry of Food, Agriculture Community Development and Cooperation. Chief Ministers Conference on Land Reform: Notes on Agenda. Vigyan Bhavan: Delhi, 1969. The timely FAO bibliography fills the need for a broad spectrum of writing on Indian land reform. We have reproduced the Indian portion at the conclusion of this section. No doubt many excellent items have not been included but if one were to systematically review the FAO bibliography, a vast literature would emerge. · Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Bibliography on Land Tenure in Asia, the Far East and Oceania Rome, Nov. 1969 INDIA AGARWAL, S.K. 1966 ALAGH, Y.K. 1962 ANSTEY, V. 1962 Consolidation of holdings: a case study of Lucknow district.
