This book argues that the web of inter-regional

regions but had a pan-Indian ramification. None of
the regions could therefore thrive in political isolation. It underscores that regions
in ancient Indian history never had any immutable historical shape or identity but
were fluid, both in their interactions and outlines.

convictions that restored peace and amity.

eighteenth-century India and traces the evolution
of north Indian towns and merchant communities from the decline of Mughal
dominion to the consolidation of British empire following the 1857 mutiny.

The Partition of British India has left more questions
than answers. In the wake of the violence and
mayhem in the aftermath, there emerged looming
questions: Why was India partitioned in 1947?; Was
it inevitable? This book chronicles the seminal studies by leading scholars to
analyse the timing and causation of Partition. From first-hand accounts of the
process of Partition to the reconstruction of the experiences of the subordinate
and the marginal, this book presents balanced analyses of the process and events
leading to the Partition. It locates long term imperatives in Hindu and Muslim
revivalist movements of the nineteenth century; regional factors with focus on
the United Provinces, Punjab, and Bengal; as well as the international contexts.

The Book Review


Moosvis book calls for attention at a time when Indias
economic experience is being widely debated. She has
kept the interest in economic history alive by making it
possible for readers to hold scattered pieces of quality research in a single volume.

Peter Robb is a leading historian of the British Colonial


state in India, and of liberal imperialism.. ...These essays
bear the mark of solid, meticulous research in a time of
much vaporous theorization.

This explosive and radical book is a dialogue between
a philosopher and a social theorist based in India on
the nature of experience, theory, ethics, and politics. In
addition to its many other virtues, it is also a remarkable
reflection on the logic of untouchability and thus of caste in Indian thought and
experience, one which should force all social scientists concerned with inequality and
humiliation in Indian society to rethink their most cherished dogmas.
Arjun Appadurai,
Goddard Professor of Media, Culture and Communication, New York University
This book presents a passionate plea to create new frameworks and idioms for
describing contemporary Indian social experiences. In particular, it argues for a
more careful understanding of the ethics of representation.
Readership : A refreshing new perspective on the debate over experience and
theorization, this book should be an indispensable read for all students and scholars
of social sciences and humanities in India and non-Western communities, and of
particular interest to those interested in subaltern, Dalit, and feminist studies.

Advaita is one of the most influential traditions of the
Vedanta schools of philosophy. However, its study
and scope have been limited by the rigid frameworks
of classical Indian philosophy. Apart from attempts to
compare it to the philosophies of Kant and Bradley,
little has been done in contemporary times. Underscoring the need to think
creatively, this book offers a systematic contemporary critique of Advaita, and
examines and evaluates some basic misconceptions.
Readership: Challenging the accepted norms of the Advaita parampara, and yet
very much a part of it, this study will interest scholars, teachers, and students of Indian
philosophy.

A Homespun Shawl

9780198089209 2012 HB Rs 725


This book is as much about the history of Christianity
in India, as it is about the writing of Indian Christian
history. A first of its kind, John Webster analyses
the themes and concerns that have informed the
historiography of Christianity over the past three
centuries.
Moving away from mission histories and institutional Church histories, this
book locates Christianity in the cultural context of the subcontinent by relating
the development of historical writing on Christianity to political events, social
changes, religious challenges, and intellectual trends in India.
Readership: Accessible and lucid in its approach, yet deep in its analyses, this book
will interest scholars, teachers, and students of modern Indian history, politics, and
sociology, as well as the informed general reader.

Allowing Gandhi to speak for himself, this book
sensitively resurrects the religious life of the
Mahatma. It reveals how intrinsic his faith was to the
man, his politics, and his idea of service. It shows how Gandhi formulated his
own religious ethic, weaving his experiences with the teachings of the Gita and
other texts. At times of anarchy and communal strife it was Gandhis belief in his
convictions that restored peace and amity.
Readership: Based on extensive research, and written in elegant, understated, prose,
this book is essential reading for scholars and students of modern Indian history,
religious studies, and Gandhian studies. It will also interest the general reader seeking a
deeper understanding of the greatest Indian of modern times.
