Abstract
This paper will first look at the way war transformed the landscape and cityscape of Jamshedpur. This region around the city was one of the inner frontiers of resource appropriation over the course of the 19th century that turned into a military frontier during the Second World War. Wartime inflation and food shortages forced the state to recast its relationship with its subjects. The war also had a significant impact on company management policies. The paper illustrates this with presenting the issues of food prices, discipline, technical training and the rehabilitation of disabled workers.
