Abstract
This paper analyzes the political economy and modernization of a small-scale agricultural community, Naidu Village, Yunnan Province, China. It describes how it is a labor and production society characterized by reliance on a particular cash-crop - matsutake. The paper then discusses how this traditional society was forced into a process of modernization under market demand stemming from a foreign capitalist nation.

From the Paper
"Marxist thinking highlights the movement toward capitalist production in Naidu, an ideal also upheld by the theory of modernization. These changes have been clearly reflected in "community crafting and refining a process of rulemaking and implementation" (Menzies 37-38) in terms of Naidu's agricultural and political economy, including increased administration, military control and regimented labor under a probable advance to full-scale capitalism. When ones looks at the Naidu case from a global political economy perspective, the character (inevitably a fluctuating one) of the Japanese economy has a direct impact on Naidu, as Japan is its primary export partner - the implementation of government legislation and loss of villager control over production was, perhaps, inevitable, under this commoditization of matsutake."

Abstract
This paper explains that exploring the legalization of women's rights is an excellent way to understand the gender issues in British Empire, which predated the partition India and Pakistan. It cites the example of how the British passed the 1856 Hindu Widows Remarriage Act, which officially allowed widows to remarry but did not allow inheriting the property left by the deceased. The author points out that Gandhi, persuasively nationalistic, believed in the equality of women, which was new to the Indians; Gandhi did arouse national spirits by wanting women to move with the traditional responsibilities. The paper reviews the life of Sarojini Naidu, as a front-line speaker for the women and one of the women who pursued a career as a politician.
From the Paper
"In 1890, Indian women sent petition to the Queen for legislative reforms. An immediate follow through was a practical representation of Indian women in English journals and attraction of English ladies in a 'desperately under-reformed' Indian society. This brings forth a mixed response in the form of proposed educational reforms and criticism of the old fashioned practices of India. It also brought in some famous British women ambassadors of the West. Such as Annie Basant, Akroyd, Sister Nvidita, Rathbone and Carpenter. In Bengal there were 95 schools with attendance of 2,500 in 1863 and 2238 schools & 80,000 in 1890. Primary school education was on a steady rise, from 5,486 in 1984 to 7,991 n 1905. But according to the Indian Gazetteer to the Queen, 1905, total number of female art institutions had risen from four (1894) to twelve (1905), with literally no professional college for women till 1905."
