Providing a social and economic history of natural disasters in India, this short and exploratory work uncovers the silent processes behind relief and rebuilding. Using some of the major floods, earthquakes, and famines that took place between 1770 and 1935 as case studies, the author shows how disasters are not just devastating events but also enable new understandings of nature, state, and society.
