A Social History of the Deccan, 1300-1761: Eight Indian Lives (The New Cambridge History of India) Book

Richard Eaton recounts the history of the Deccan plateau from the fourteenth century to the rise of European colonialism. He does so, vividly, through the lives of eight Indians who each represented something particular about the region. Characters include a merchant, a general, an African slave, a poet, a bandit and a female pawn-broker. Their stories are woven together into a rich narrative tapestry, which illumines the most important social processes of the Deccan across four centuries. This is a much-needed book by an acclaimed scholar in the field.Read More
