How artefacts are identified
Processing of food required grinding equipment as well as vessels for
mixing, blending and cooking. These were made of stone, metal and
terracotta. This is an excerpt from one of the earliest reports on
excavations at Mohenjodaro, the best-known Harappan site :
Saddle querns ... are found in considerable numbers ... and they seem to
have been the only means in use for grinding cereals. As a rule, they were
roughly made of hard, gritty, igneous rock or sandstone and mostly show
signs of hard usage. As their bases are usually convex, they must have
been set in the earth or in mud to prevent their rocking. Two main types
have been found: those on which another smaller stone was pushed or
rolled to and fro, and others with which a second stone was used as a
pounder, eventually making a large cavity in the nether stone. Querns of
the former type were probably used solely for grain; the second type
possibly only for pounding herbs and spices for making curries. In fact

our cook asked for the loan of one from the museum for use in the
kitchen.

Irrigating trees and fields

This is an excerpt from the Babur Nama that describes the
irrigation devices the emperor observed in northern India :
The greater part of Hindustan country is situated on
level land. Many though its towns and cultivated
lands are, it nowhere has running waters ... For ...
water is not at all a necessity in cultivating crops and
orchards. Autumn crops grow by the downpour of the
rains themselves; and strange it is that spring crops
grow even when no rains fall. (However) to young
trees water is made to flow by means of buckets or
wheels ...
In Lahore, Dipalpur (both in present-day Pakistan)
and those other parts, people water by means of a
wheel. They make two circles of rope long enough to
suit the depths of the well, fix strips of wood between
them, and on these fasten pitchers. The ropes with the
wood and attached pitchers are put over the wheel-
well. At one end of the wheel-axle a second wheel is
fixed, and close to it another on an upright axle. The
last wheel the bullock turns; its teeth catch in the
teeth of the second (wheel), and thus the wheel with
the pitchers is turned. A trough is set where the water
empties from the pitchers and from this the water is
conveyed everywhere.
In Agra, Chandwar, Bayana (all in present-day Uttar
Pradesh) and those parts again, people water with a
bucket ... At the well-edge they set up a fork of wood,
having a roller adjusted between the forks, tie a rope
to a large bucket, put the rope over a roller, and tie its
other end to the bullock. One person must drive the
bullock, another empty the bucket.

The jotedars of Dinajpur

Buchanan described the ways in which the jotedars of

Dinajpur in North Bengal resisted being disciplined by the
zamindar and undermined his power :

Landlords do not like this class of men, but it is

evident that they are absolutely necessary, unless the
landlords themselves would advance money to their
necessitous tenantry ...

The jotedars who cultivate large portions of lands are

very refractory, and know that the zamindars have no
power over them. They pay only a few rupees on
account of their revenue and then fall in balance
almost every kist (instalment), they hold more lands
than they are entitled to by their pottahs (deeds of

consequence, summon them to the cutcherry, and

detain them for one or two hours with a view to
reprimand them, they immediately go and complain at
the Fouzdarry Thanna (police station) for

the lower court) cutcherry for being dishonoured and

whilst the causes continue unsettled, they instigate
the petty ryots not to pay their revenue
consequently ...

(33.1) Why did jotedars resist the Zamindars of Dinajpur ? 1

(33.2) How did Jotedars instigate the ryots ? 1
