Sindh under the Mughals: origin and development of historiography (1591-1737 CE). | Naz, Humera | xxvi,254p pap. | Oxford U.P. (P) | 2023 | 4,899円 | [This] book is a major contribution to the history of Sindh, and consequently to that of Pakistan and South Asia. Beyond the excellence of the research, it must be emphasized that, if the reign of the Mughal rulers has been studied in detail, it is mainly in the imperial context, namely from the centres of power they had created and developed in northern India … Dr Naz has shifted the focus, producing an innovative perspective on how the Mughals exercised power in territories relatively far from the imperial centres, but above all she reveals the leading role they played in developing historiography through the spread of several literary genres. Thus, Dr Naz’s work renews the field of Mughal studies, but at the same time, it is much more than that. -- Michel Boivin |

Kingdoms of Memory, Empires of Ink: the Veda and the regional print cultures of colonial India. | Galewicz, Cezary | 302p | Jagiellonian U.P. | 2020 | 9,240円 | Vedas -- Publication and distribution -- India -- History -- 19th century The backbone of this book on books is a history of a most unusual concept of the book that developed in South Asia with reference to the Veda... By the 19th century, regional cultures of print showed an uneven and spatially discontinuous development across the Indian subcontinent. They variously fed on regional patterns of communication, configurations of power, patronage, and a new economic regime. Their development formed part of tremendous transformations in the structures of power, statecraft, authority, and communication that the subcontinent was going through while being gradually absorbed into the globalizing orbit of the emerging British Empire. The period witnessed a general shift of knowledge-production sites and relocation of distribution and text-circulation networks towards new urban centres.... This book tries to understand how the emerging regional cultures of print created conditions for, inspired, and accommodated differently configured projects of bringing out printed editions of Vedic texts while leaving distinct traces of their respective nature on their editorial principles, book format, typographic form, and publishing ideology. |

Epics, khilas, and Purān̥as-- continuities and ruptures | Koskikallio, Petteri (ed.) | xxviii,660p | Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts/ Dev Publishers | 2020(05) | 12,799円 | Puranas -- Epic literature, Sanskrit -- History and criticism -- Congresses The Third Dubrovnik International Conference on the Sanskrit epics and purāṇas continued the work and exchange of ideas of a growing group of scholars from all over the world on the topics connected with the Sanskrit epic and purāṇic subjects. This time the Harivaṃśa was selected as one of its focuses, and therefore these proceedings contain six contributions on the Harivaṃśa, eight on the purāṇas, and nine on the Sanskrit epics, which can be considered a rather balanced result. the papers address the questions about continuities and ruptures between the Vedas and the epics, between different layers of the Sanskrit epics, between the Mahābhārata and the Harivaṃśa, between the epics, their khilas and the purāṇas, and between different stages of the purāṇic tradition. The contributions are written by prominent scholars working on Vedic, Sanskrit epic and purāṇic projects, and display a select, but representative, image of the state of the art, of important new results and of challenging open questions, in these crucial fields of Sanskrit scholarship. |

The Concept of Bharatavarsha and Other essays | Chattopadhyaya, B.D. | x,238p | Permanent Black/ Ashoka Univ. | 2017 | 3,330円 | History -- India & South Asia -- Historiography This collection explores what may be called the idea of India in ancient times. Its undeclared objective is to identify key concepts which show early Indian civilization as distinct and differently oriented from other formations. The essays focus on ancient Indian texts within a variety of genres. They identify certain key terms--such as Janapada, Desa, Varna, Dharma, Bhava--in their empirical contexts to suggest that neither the ideas embedded in these terms nor the idea of Bharatvarsha as a whole are "given entities," but that they evolved historically. Professor Chattopadhyaya examines these texts to unveil historical processes. Without denying comparative history, he stresses that the internal dynamics of a society are best decoded via its own texts. His approach bears very effectively on understanding ongoing interactions between India's "Great Tradition" and "Little Traditions." As a whole, this book is critical of the notion of overarching Indian unity in the ancient period. It punctures the retrospective thrust of hegemonic nationalism as an ideology that has obscured the diverse textures of Indian civilization. Renowned for his scholarship on the ancient Indian past, Professor Chattopadhyaya's latest collection only consolidates his high international reputation. |
| Epic in India | Muherjee, Tutun & Bharathi Harishankar (ed.) | xxxviii,375p | Orient BlackSwan | 2024 | 8,789円 | Epic literature, Indic -- History and criticism Through Indian life and culture, the epics of the subcontinent flow like the subterranean River Saraswati. Like Yuddhishthira, who is faced with the puzzling questions posed to him by the enigmatic Yaksha in the Mahabharata, the Indian Everyman, conscious of dharma and niti, is expected to find answers to ethical and existential dilemmas. While the Ramayana, the Mahabharata and Silappadikaram are the best known of the sacred narratives of the past, there exists a vast reservoir of other epics—many still in the oral tradition. This compendium, the first of its kind, explores the many literary traditions and strands that run parallel but also provide interesting contrasts in the experience of the epics. The multiple frames provide a cultural continuum which shapes and is shaped by the epics. | |

The Place of Many Moods Udaipur's Painted Lands and India's Eighteenth Century. | Khera, Dipti | xiii,218p illus. photos | Princeton U.P. | 2020 | 15,642円 | Art and society -- India -- Udaipur (Rajasthan) -- History -- 18th century India retains one of the richest painting traditions in the history of global visual culture, one that both parallels aspects of European traditions and also diverges from it. While European artists venerated the landscape and landscape paintings, it is rare in the Indian tradition to find depictions of landscapes for their sheer beauty and mood, without religious or courtly significance. There is one glorious exception: Painters from the city of Udaipur in Northwestern India specialized in depicting places, including the courtly worlds and cities of rajas, sacred landscapes of many gods, and bazaars bustling with merchants, pilgrims, and craftsmen. Their court paintings and painted invitation scrolls displayed rich geographic information, notions of territory, and the bhāva, or feel, emotion, and mood of a place. This is the first book to use artistic representations of place to trace the major aesthetic, intellectual, and political shifts in South Asia over the long eighteenth century. |

In this richly illustrated book, leading art historian Vidya Dehejia introduces the bronzes within the full context of Chola history, culture, and religion. |

India and the Early Modern World. | Lally, Jagjeet | xv,545p maps, photos. pap. | Routledge | 2024 | 9,224円 | India -- History -- 1000-1765 India and the Early Modern World provides an authoritative and wide-ranging survey of the Indian subcontinent over the fifteenth to eighteenth centuries, set within a global context. This book explores questions critical to our understanding of early modern India. How, for instance, were Indians' religious beliefs, their ways of life, and the horizons of their learning changing over this period? What was happening in the countryside and towns, to culture and the arts, and to the state and its power? Were such experiences comparable or linked to those in other parts of the world? Can we speak of a global early modernity, therefore, within which India played an important role? Organised thematically, each chapter engages with such key issues, debates, and concepts, covering wide ground as it connects, compares, and contrasts developments witnessed across early modern South Asia to those around the globe. Drawing on the fruits of research in numerous fields over the past fifty years and rich in detail, India and the Early Modern World is a pathbreaking volume written engagingly and accessibly with scholars, students, and non-specialists in mind. |

Perilous Intimacies considers a range of topics, including Muslim scholarl.y translations of Hinduism, Hindu-Muslim theological polemics, the question of interreligious friendship in the Qur’an, intra-Muslim debates on cow sacrifice, and debates on emulating Hindu customs and habits |
