Rethinking a Millennium; Perspectives on Indian History From the Eighth to the Eighteenth Century – Essays for Harbans Mukhia

Description

This book is a collection of essays by eminent historians exploring a millennium of India’s history between the eighth and the eighteenth century, conventionally understood as early medieval and medieval India. Though these terms are subjected to critical scrutiny by various contributors, they do not foreground the discussion because they tend to straitjacket perspectives in one or the other direction. The idea is to use as many entry points as possible to develop perspectives with which to study this vital period of Indian history.
