Sir Chhotu Ram was the principal architect of the Unionist Party of the Punjab. He was in favour of complete independence of India but without partitioning it. Basic Ideology of Sir Chhotu Ram was based on economic issues. He emerged as a sole Jat leader of Punjab and gained prominence as the leader of the agriculturists of the Punjab. He served as an Agriculture Minister, Education Minister, Development Minister, and Revenue Minister in the Punjab Assembly.The Politics of the Unionist Party was the politics of loyalism, it was made possible by Chhotu Ram, as an important leader in the Unionist politics, he forged an enduring political alliance with the predominant Unionist Muslims of Punjab which was instrumental in making the most successful non-Congress Ministries under the Provincial Autonomy. The main contribution of Sir Chhotu Ram was in championing the cause of the peasantry class and the downtrodden people in the Punjab and he stood for their rights.

In the aftermath of the Second World War, states across the world sought to expand industrial fishing to both feed and employ their populations. This article examines the structure of the post-war fishing political economies in two countries separated by the Cold War divide: the Soviet Union and Norway. Their political-economic organization and governing ideologies differed, yet many of the goals and objectives of resource management were similar. The mechanisms to enforce regulation, however, were widely divergent, reflecting varying configurations of state power and social control.

The history of fishing has often been written from a local or regional perspective. There has gradually been a shift where fishing has been studied from a broader international perspective. Nevertheless, large international overviews need detailed studies of individual ports in a similar way as studies of individual ports benefit from the international perspective. The introduction of steam-powered fishing vessels in Scandinavia has often been regarded as an attempt to imitate fishing in Great Britain. However, a closer study of the Scandinavian countries shows that this does not match, for example, the Norwegian steam fishing fleet. Scandinavia's two main fishing ports with steam-powered fishing vessels, Ålesund in Norway and Gothenburg in Sweden, show great differences. Gothenburg is the place that has the most similarities with the large British fishing ports. Steam-powered fishing vessels played a modest role in Danish fishing. On the other hand, when it comes to the introduction of engines, the Danish fishery was the leader. However, it would take more than 30 years from the first functionable engines around the turn of the twentieth century before motor-driven fishing vessels could begin to compete with steam-powered fishing vessels. The problems of financing the new technology are emphasized in the article. Government loans were important in many countries, but much research is still needed to clarify the proportion that was government-financed and how much other financial actors contributed.

This article examines a distinctive type of drinking vessel that was produced in early modern northern Europe known as a ‘somersault cup’ or ‘drink-up’. Lacking a proper base, such beakers had to be emptied of their intoxicating contents before they could rest, inverted, on their rims. These cups clearly lent themselves to hazardous drinking games. The author considers how the confrontation with chance in these drinking vessels broadly pertains to managing the hazards of maritime vessels. She focuses on the implications of dice glasses, which incorporate a single die, in the Dutch Republic circa 1580–1700. The advent of the dice vessels coincides with the Republic's ascendancy as a global mercantile and maritime power. These glasses were produced just as uncertain futures were increasingly subjected to reasoned calculation, particularly in the growing marine insurance industry. Dice glasses suggest complex relationships between numbers and material things in early constructions of risk and future uncertainty.

Sir Robert Bristow, popularly called Bristow Sahib, is recognized as a path-breaker in the field of port construction in the historical consciousness and cultural imaginary of the people of Kerala, the southernmost state of India. His memoir, Cochin Saga, published in 1959, records both his professional experiences as a harbour engineer and his personal reminiscences as a British resident posted in Cochin. Maritime scholarship has paid scant attention to this literary document, which is a crucial record of how Bristow succeeded in winning hearts in an alien culture, overcoming hostile environmental situations. This article attempts to reconsider Bristow's memories as recorded in Cochin Saga from a post-colonial perspective, and tries to examine whether Bristow's accounts fall prey to employing universalizing tendencies and a hegemonic world view of India and its culture.
Robert Bristow爵士,俗称Bristow Sahib,在印度最南端的喀拉拉邦人民的历史意识和文化想象中,被公认为港口建设领域的开拓者。他的回忆录《科钦传奇》出版于1959年,记录了他作为港口工程师的职业经历,以及他作为一名派驻科钦的英国居民的个人回忆。海事学术界很少关注这份文学文献,这是布里斯托如何在异国文化中成功赢得人心,克服敌对环境的重要记录。本文试图从后殖民主义的角度重新审视布里斯托在《科钦传奇》中的记忆,并试图考察布里斯托的叙述是否受制于对印度及其文化的普遍化倾向和霸权世界观。
