A study of how nineteenth century 'accidents' particularly in the form of colonial policies and the American Civil War ushered in institutional transformations that shaped the Vidarbha region's cotton economy. By drawing insights from longitudinal study in villages of the region spanning 12 years, it presents the 'gambles' that farmers are part of.
