Musalmans and Money-lenders in the Punjab

"Musalmans and Money-lenders in the Punjab" examines the socio-economic conditions in late 19th-century Punjab, focusing on the relationships between Muslim farmers and Hindu moneylenders. This historical work provides insights into the complexities of agrarian life, debt, and social structures during the British Raj. Septimius Smet Thorburn's analysis offers a detailed look at the financial systems that shaped the lives of rural communities and the impact of these systems on social dynamics. The book explores the challenges faced by agricultural populations and the role of moneylenders in the economic landscape of the region.
