Irrigated India is a book written by Alfred Deakin, an Australian politician and writer, and published in 1893. The book provides an Australian perspective on the irrigation and agriculture practices in India and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) during the late 19th century. Deakin's work is based on his travels to India and Ceylon, where he observed the irrigation systems and agricultural practices employed by the local farmers. He describes in detail the various methods of irrigation, including the use of wells, canals, and tanks, and how they have helped transform the arid landscapes into fertile farmlands.The book also delves into the social and economic implications of irrigation and agriculture in India and Ceylon. Deakin discusses the impact of British colonialism on the region, the caste system, and the role of agriculture in the local economy.Irrigated India is a fascinating historical account that provides insights into the agricultural practices and social conditions of India and Ceylon during the late 19th century. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of agriculture, irrigation, and colonialism in South Asia.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
