Subject Agriculture-Farming, Production, Technology, Economics
 
Description Much of the prevailing wisdom about agrarian change in South Asia stems from
perceptions about and experiences in irrigated agriculture, particularly in the
indo-Gangetic plain. Views about the 'frozen', uncompetitive nature of land
markets, economic polarization, distress sales as a means to accumulate land,
increasing landlessness, landlords' exploitation of tenants, and extreme fragmentation
of holdings are common (Myrdal. 1968; Ladejinsky, 1965).
