Abstract

In nineteenth-century Tamil Nadu, a significant portion of village lands were not cultivated but used by villagers for grazing their livestock, and collecting fuel wood, fodder, manure, etc. Such common lands were, however, not jointly used equally by all villagers but, like the cultivated lands, were controlled by the dominant landholders in the village. Upper class farmers had initiated the conversion of common land into cultivated land by the middle of the nineteenth century, and in effect had privatised a large amount of common land by the end of the century.
