Summary: In The Agrarian Prospect in India, five lectures delivered in 1955 at the Delhi School of Economics, Daniel Thorner set forth for the first time his scheme of three principal rural classes: maliks (proprietors), kisans (working peasants), and mazdur-log (labourers). He used this framework to evaluate the results at the village level of the first great wave of post-independence land reforms, and to make alternative proposals of his own for agrarian justice and agricultural progress. It is also in the Agrarian Prospect that Daniel Thorner coined the term, "built-in depressor" to indicate the characteristic combination of social, political and economic factors which held back rural development in the India of the 1950's.
