Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This volume explores the emergence of Gujarat over three centuries in terms of its political, economic and religious landscape. It also analyses the linguistic and cultural foundations of the formation of the region and its history. It examines how the political scenario was differentiated by a variety of religious and sectarian groups competing for resources and legitimization. The book maps immigration and settlement, struggles over territory, and the evolving networks of trade in response to the strictures imposed by the environment, the climate, and natural resources. Sheikh argues that itinerancy and mobility were crucial to the polity under study and that the patterns of political formation were related to the tension between mobility and sedentarization. She engages with the current debates and conceptions regarding the study of regional histories. This volume explores the emergence of Gujarat by examining its political, economic and religious landscape. It also analyses the linguistic and cultural foundations of the region and its history.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Timur invaded northern India in 1398 but returned to Samarkand a year later. In 1555 the Timurid emperor Humayun came back to India after being forced into exile in Persia and re-established Mughal rule in northern India.

It has also beencredited with ushering in a radically new age of innovation in art, literature, and statecraft. But what of the period before the Mughals?With the empire-centred study of historyprivileging periods of political centralization, the multi-centred fifteenth century has remained relatively unexplored and undervalued.After Timur Left presents a path-breaking interdisciplinary set of writings on the politics, languages, religions, literatures, and arts of the fifteenth century.
