Jeko Khere So Khaye (He who tills has the right to eat): 'development' and the politics of agrarian reform in late 1940s and early 1950s in Sindh

This talk explores connections between ‘development’ and the politics of agrarian reform in Sindh (Pakistan) during the period of transition straddling Independence. On the one hand, it highlights the place of development thinking in contemporary debates and policy making there before and after 1947; on the other, it acknowledges the role of the local hari movement in pushing for tenancy changes in the Sindhi countryside.
