  The ten lectures in memory of Daniel Thorner comprising this volume, were delivered in various cities in India over a period of sixteen years, from 1985 to 2001. Instituted after his death in 1974, and sponsored by the Indian Statistical Institute, this continuing lecture series reflects the breadth of Thorner’s own range of interests: from themes in the social sciences to issues in the fields of public policy and human rights. Besides an introductory essay by Utsa Patnaik, the volume also includes a hitherto unpublished paper by Daniel Thorner, written in his student days. As a student, Daniel Thorner did not set out to become a specialist on India; nor did he consider himself an economist. Yet, paradoxically, this is how he is remembered in India. His ntellectual career, which began as that of a historian, followed a logical and ever-widening path that led him from studying British economic and social relations with India, to researching the
agrarian structure and economic development of India. Indeed, most of his publications in the 1950s and 60s could be so interpreted as to place him in the category of ‘Indian economists’.
Alice Thorner, the editor of this volume, has been studying, teaching and writing on the economic and social history of South
Asia since 1940. She is co-author, with her late husband Daniel Thorner, of Land and Labour in India (1962). More recently, in
collaboration with Sujata Patel, she has edited two volumes of essays—Bombay: A Mosaic of Modern Culture and Bombay: A Metaphor for Modern India (1995). Alice Thorner lives in Paris, and visits India regularly. 2001 Hardback xxxii + 280 pages 8.5 x 5.5 inches ISBN: 81-85229-46-5
