Medieval India Vol. 1 : Researches in the History of India, 1200-1750

Medieval Indian history gained much from recent research, based on a more extensive and critical use of sources and directed toward the illumination of aspects of political, social, economic, and cultural history that had previously been inadequately treated. The papers collected in this volume draw mainly upon work done at Aligarh, the principal seat of Medieval Indian studies today. They aim at exploring new themes without abating the rigor of the "orientalist" tradition. The period covered extends from 1200 to 1750, and the themes touched upon belong to agrarian relations, civil engineering, ruling-class, and religion. There is also a translation from and notes on an important document dating to Aurangzeb's reign.Habib, Irfan is the author of 'Medieval India Vol. 1 : Researches in the History of India, 1200-1750', published 1993 under ISBN 9780195623307 and ISBN 0195623304.
