title: [Rumblings, resistances, rebellions: the implementation of censuses in colonial India (eighteenth to twentieth centuries)].
abstract: "The author examines how the population of colonial India reacted to enumeration practices developed by the British for fiscal and demographic purposes. Three types of reactions predominated during this period: rumblings, resistance--either spontaneous (primarily among the Santhal tribes) or politically organized, sparked by the nationalist movement of the 1920s and 1930s--and violent revolts, especially among the tribal Bhil in western India. It is interesting to relate such reactions, which often intermingled, to the building of a modern colonial state." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND SPA)
