Explore the diverse conceptions of time in premodern South Asia, challenging colonial narratives with this profound work. Shonaleeka Kaul expertly unpacks alternative temporalities across Indian languages and traditions—from Sanskrit and Persian to Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Islam—demonstrating how time was fluid, culturally rich, and understood from the contingent to the transcendent. This book is essential for scholars and students of Indian history, Indian philosophy, decolonial studies, and anyone keen to understand India’s complex intellectual heritage and the very fabric of temporality.
