(The New Cambridge history of India, IV. 3).
ISBN : 9780521678612.
305.51220954 BAY 141199
The authors cogent and sophisticated analysis explores
the emergence of the ideas, experiences and practices
which gave rise to the so-called -caste society- from the
pre-colonial period to the end of the twentieth century.
Using an historical and anthropological approach, she
frames her analysis within the context of India-s dynamic
economic and social order, interpreting caste not as an
essence of Indian culture and civilization, but rather as
a contingent and variable response to the changes that
occurred in the subcontinent-s political landscape
through the colonial conquest. The idea of caste in
relation to Western and Indian -orientalist- thought is
also explored.

India is a land of enormous diversity. Cross-cultural
influences are everywhere in evidence, in the food people
eat, the clothes they wear, and in the places they
worship. This was especially the case in the India that
existed from 1200 to 1750, before the European
intervention. The book takes the reader on a journey
across the political, economic, religious and cultural
landscapes of medieval India, from the Ghurid conquests
and the Delhi Sultanate to the great court of the
Mughals.

of the lower orders that imperial ventures generated.
