The first three-quarters of a century of British rule, down to the 1870s, had effectively torn apart and fragmented the political institutions of the South, and had left a highly parochial political society in which loyalties seldom extended beyond face-to-face relationships and power was extremely localized. This lack of significant supra-local political connections contributed to the Madras Presidency's reputation as the most 'benighted' of all Indian provinces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51943679295776,"sku":"NEW0521053455","price":56.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-emergence-of-provincial-politics-the-madras-presidency-1870-1920-cambridge-south-asian-studies-series-number-18-0521053455","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
