Uncover the unique political landscape of India’s Deccan Sultanates with this seminal work on medieval Indian history. Challenging imperial narratives, it reveals how states in 16th and 17th-century Central India embraced negotiation, flexibility, and cultural plurality instead of aspiring to empire. Explore the foundations of these ‘non-imperial states,’ examining the interplay of people, identities, and languages that shaped society and politics in this vibrant era. Essential reading for students of Indian history, political science, and researchers keen to understand the complexities of early modern India and its diverse heritage.
