Recruitment and retention of minoritized students in Cacrep-accredited counseling programs
The recruitment and retention of minoritized students is critical for diversifying the counseling profession. Accreditation standards and scholarship provide little guidance on best practices. We sampled 38 administrators from the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs to understand recruitment and retention practices for minoritized students. We found four themes and provide implications for counselor education
Persian in the Villages, or, the Language of Jamiat Rai’s Account Books
District ( pargana )-level land revenue administration in late-Mughal south Gujarat was run mostly by Hindu and Jain family firms which operated within a multilingual environment featuring Gujarati and Marathi as well as Persian. Similar arrangements continued under early East India Company control but, by the 1820s, the British had done away with land-revenue family firms and their contextual multilingualism, replacing them with directly-employe…

Reaching Across Land and Sea
Although the last nawab of Bharuch was ousted by the East India Company’s forces in 1772, his trusted minister Lallubhai flourished under Company rule. Lallubhai’s influence and income derived from his deep understanding and control of late-Mughal revenue systems and their role in the flourishing cotton supply chain of south Gujarat. As Mughal control waned in Gujarat, revenue entrepreneurs such as Lallubhai virtually ran the military–fiscal appa…
Aurangzeb as seen from Gujarat
This article argues for a re-evaluation of the ‘Islamist’ policies of the Mughal ruler Aurangzeb ‘Alamgir (r. 1658–1707), many of which were arguably harsher towards Shi‘i and millenarian groups than towards Hindus. By charting Aurangzeb's trials of millenarian leaders throughout his long reign, it suggests that the emperor's desire to introduce a more standardised legal system was at odds with the ‘millennial’ nature of his own kingship. The art…
A makeshift renaissance
The notion of cultural renaissance, roughly equivalent to that in Europe, has little purchase in the historiography of South Asia except in histories explicitly informed by two ostensibly distinct but connected ideological strands: colonialism and anti-Muslim nationalism. The British association of medievalism with Muslim rule ensured that India's renaissance meant a rejection of language and culture associated with Islam and Muslims as backward …
Jibhabhu's Rights to Ghee
By examining the career of a woman agrarian entrepreneur in early nineteenth-century Gujarat, this article seeks to foreground the role of family firms specializing in the assessment, realization, and investment of land revenue. The article argues that such firms, which were commonly found service providers in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, were deemed to be alienators of the loyalties and revenues that the East India Company stat…

Forging a region
"This volume explores the emergence of Gujarat over three centuries in terms of its political, economic and religious landscape. It also analyses the linguistic and cultural foundations of the formation of the region and its history. It examines how the political scenario was differentiated by a variety of religious and sectarian groups competing for resources and legitimization. The book maps immigration and settlement, struggles over territory,…
The Regions of Gujarat, c. 100–1200
Settlement and Authority in Eastern Gujarat
From the twelfth to the end of the fifteenth century and even later, Gujarat was still in the process of being ‘settled’. The coastal towns were particularly prosperous and boasted sizeable and entrenched colonies of local and itinerant merchants. In the hinterland, however, migration and mobility were the norm for all those engaged in trade, politics, and pilgrimage. Eastern Gujarat was already urbanized, and trade and even agriculture were larg…
A Gujarati Map and Pilot Book of the Indian Ocean, c .1750
An unusual eighteenth‐century Gujarati manuscript (St John's College, Oxford, MS 254 (45)) that includes a grid‐line map of Gujarat, sailing directions and a list of Indian Ocean ports throws light on the history of Indian cartography and navigation. The manuscript, which is bound into the scrapbook of an eighteenth‐century English clergyman, is examined in detail and compared with other maps and charts originating in Gujarat. The map suggests th…
Alliance, Genealogy and Political Power
In 1472, the Cūdāsamā ruler of Junagadh in Saurashtra (peninsular western Gujarat) was finally defeated, after a long struggle, by the armies of Mahmūd, the sultan of Ahmadabad, a turning point in the history of Gujarat. The Cūdāsamās, hitherto dominant rulers, were reduced to the status of minor landholders. For the sultanate, it marked the abandonment of an administration based largely on tribute and alliance with local chieftains in favour of …
