About this title

Synopsis

Explore a pivotal look at Bengal, the East India Company, and a changing empire.

This edition presents a veteran scholar’s perspective on the political and commercial dynamics that shaped the early modern Indian subcontinent, with a focus on how wealth, power, and religion intertwined in the region’s history.

The book traces the rise of imperial influence in Bengal and its coastal provinces, offering a narrative that ties military campaigns, revenue systems, and regional politics to the broader story of empire. It discusses key figures, shifting loyalties, and the long arc of conflict and negotiation that defined governance and trade in this era. The work also reflects on how myths, theology, and local traditions were interpreted by contemporary observers and later writers.

Learn how major power shifts affected Bengal’s provinces and the fortunes of its rulers.
See how revenue and taxation played a central role in imperial strategy.
Gain context for debates about colonial governance, trade, and administration.
Understand historical perspectives on religion, culture, and regional identity.

Ideal for readers of history, empire studies, and economic and political transformation in South Asia.
