State Violence and Punishment in India
Taylor C. Sherman (Routledge, 2009)
ISBN: 978041555970

Exploring violent confrontation between the state and the population in colonial and post-colonial India, this book is both a study of the many techniques of colonial coercion and state violence and a cultural history of the different ways in which Indians imbued practices of punishment with their own meanings and reinterpreted acts of state violence in their own political campaigns.
