Book excerpt: This is the fifth volume in the series on Indian history with the generic title From Indus to Independence: A Trek through Indian History. It covers the period from the establishment of the Delhi Sultanate (accepted as 1206 by most historians) and its defeat and obliteration by Babur the Mughal in 1526. The initial phase of the Delhi Sultanate was more a military occupation than the establishment of an empire and accordingly was chaotic, violent and turbulent. Throughout its existence, the Sultanate continued a program of the aggressive imposition of Islam on the northern part of the Indian sub-continent. This book chronicles the events of more than three centuries, especially in North India that had, and continues to have a momentous influence on further developments in India. The Delhi Sultanate was the first major Islamic kingdom to be established in India and brought about a direct confrontation between Hinduism and Islam. The encounter transformed not only India’s social fabric but had a lasting impact on the subcontinent's architecture, literature, music, and even cuisine. More importantly, it divided the socio-political and economic structure of India in an irrevocable manner. This book recounts the historic events and analyses the social, cultural and religious developments that transformed India permanently. It combines detailed research and great erudition, weaving together the events of three centuries and the aftermath and influence of each on the development of India as an entity.

Book excerpt: This is the ninth volume of the series on Indian history with the generic title, From Indus to Independence: A Trek through Indian History and provides a historic narrative of the rise, decline and eventual fall of the great Maratha Empire through the 17th and 18th centuries. The book analyses the origins of the Marathas, their rise to power and the period of what could be called 'The Maratha Dominance'. The arrival of Islam into the Deccan Plateau and South India coincides with the recognised rise of the Marathas as fearless and stubborn warriors. The early Maratha chiefs contributed to the military prowess of the Shahi kingdoms of the Deccan and their opposition to the Mughal invasion, conspicuous for their valour and loyalty. This volume describes in detail the early years and coming of age of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the founder the what later came to be called the Maratha Empire. His daring exploits and the vision that he had of establishing a Hindu kingdom for the emancipation of the Hindu population are explained in full. The rule of the Peshwas and continuing rise of the Maratha Empire to it halcyon days between 1720 and 1755 are chronicled in detail. The Battle of Panipat, fought and lost in 1761, is analysed before the volume looks at the onset of decline and the fundamental causes that created strategically unsound circumstances from which the Empire could not recover. The role of the English East India Company in finally breaking up the Empire is studied, and their duplicitous nature underlined. The book provides the reader with an in-depth understanding of the changed circumstances in Indian history with the arrival of European powers into the sub-continent.

Book excerpt: This is the tenth volume in the series on Indian history with the generic title, From Indus to Independence: A Trek through Indian History and provides a historic narrative of the consecutive arrival of four European powers on the west coast of the Indian Peninsula and their activities in the sub-continent for the next 250 years. The Europeans came to India to profit from the spice trade but soon realised that the local political circumstances gave them an opportunity to step outside the normal orbit of trading merchants. Although some amount of power struggle took place, it was the English who came to dominate the trade within a century of their arriving on the Indian shores. They achieved this through an astute combination of the use of force, opportunistic deals, blatant betrayal of trust, and the shrewd exploitation of inherent flaws in the domestic political structure. This volume elaborates on the English annexation of the prosperous province of Bengal through a series of unscrupulous manoeuvres. The book explains the infamous Black Hole of Calcutta' and establishes that the episode was blown out of proportion by biased, later-day English chroniclers to suit the narrative of the English East India Company justifying their 'annexation' of many kingdoms in the sub-continent. Their role in fracturing the existing, admittedly fragile, socio-political status quo is studied, and the duplicitous nature of their dealings underlined. The book provides the reader with an in-depth understanding of the initial changes that took place in the Indian sub-continent with the forceful entry of European powers into the sub-continent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the sixth volume of the series on Indian history, From Indus to Independence: A Trek through Indian History, and deals with the Islamic entrenchment in the Deccan Plateau--the flow of events, the reasons and the consequences of this development. It starts with an overview of the Deccan and provides a detailed and contextual background of South India before the Islamic invasion. It also explains the spirited Hindu revival that took place before the entire Deccan was subsumed by the Islamic enterprise emanating from North India. The core subject of study in the book is the medieval kingdoms of the Deccan, the Bahmanis and its successor Shahi kingdoms. The history of the Bahmani dynasty; its tumultuous founding; the rule of various kings; and a detailed analysis of the breakup of the kingdom--the process, reasons and aftermath--has been analysed and described. Subsequently the three major successor dynasties--Adil Shahis, Nizam Shahis and Qutb Shahis--are studied in great detail and narrated as three separate sections. The book carries out an assessment of the nearly four centuries of Islamic rule in medieval Deccan, detailing the troubles and tribulations that made these dynasties less effective than they could have been and the incessant in-fighting that made the successor Shahi kingdoms fragile and open to easy conquest in their later days by the Mughals. The book also studies the cultural, literary, architectural and religious aspects that stand out in the Deccan as a consequence of the mingling of Islam and Hinduism, which created unique outcomes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the seventh volume of the series on Indian history, From Indus to Independence: A Trek through Indian History, and provides the history of the great Vijayanagara Empire. Named in aspiration of victory--in both the spiritual and temporal realms--Vijayanagara more than lived up to its name for more than three centuries, before it was brought down by a number of factors, some of them beyond its control. Vijayanagara was established at a critical juncture in the politico-religious history of Peninsular India. Even though it was not proclaimed as such, there is no doubt that the kingdom was created as the answer to the ferocious Islamic invasions of the 'Deep South' that was becoming a regular feature in Peninsular India. It succeeded in holding back the invading armies, for three long centuries, thereby blunting the zeal and urgency of the Islamic conquest. These three centuries provided the balm to make the interaction between Hinduism and Islam more congenial than at the outset of the Islamic invasion of the Deccan Plateau. This book provides a detailed historical narrative of the great Vijayanagara Empire and carries out an assessment of its successes and failures. The book provides the reader with an in-depth understanding of the irrevocable and fundamental forces of history that have been instrumental in forming the present that we live today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the eighth volume of the series on Indian history, From Indus to Independence: A Trek through Indian History and provides a narrative of the reign of the Imperial Mughals. The period analysed in this volume, 1526-1707, covers the rule of the first six Mughal emperors who have been traditionally referred to as the 'Great' or 'Imperial Mughals'. The Mughals invaded the sub-continent mainly because the first Mughal, Babur, a direct descendant of both Timur and Genghis Khan, was unable to craft a kingdom for himself in Central Asia after he had lost his patrimony in Fergana at a young age to his uncles. The first three emperors discussed in this book took the empire to its zenith of power, while the last two could be considered to have sown the seeds that led to its eventual weakening, degeneration and downfall. This book provides a detailed historical narrative of the events that transpired during the 181-years of Imperial Mughal rule. At the time of the death of Aurangzeb, the sixth Mughal, the empire encompassed almost the entire sub-continent, at least superficially. This chronicle also carries out an analysis of the successes and failures of the emperors, the role that religion played in establishing the Mughal Empire, as well as in its decline and decay. The book provides the reader with an in-depth understanding of the irrevocable and fundamental forces of history that combine to create, nourish and inevitably dismember empires.

Book excerpt: This book describes and evaluates how institutional innovation and technological innovation have impacted on humanity from pre-historical times to modern times, and how societies have been transformed in history. The author interrogates the relationship between innovation and civilisation -– particularly the dynamic whereby innovation leads to empire-building -– and explores innovation efforts that stimulated economic and social synergies from the Babylonian Empire in 1900 BC up to the British Empire in the twentieth century. The author uses historical cross-cultural case studies to establish the factors which have given competitive advantages to societies and empires. This book will be of interest to researchers and students in political economy, economic history, economic growth and innovation economics.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The epic tale of a woman who breathes a fantastical empire into existence, only to be consumed by it over the centuries—from the transcendent imagination of Booker Prize–winning, internationally bestselling author Salman Rushdie Salman Rushdie is one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People of the Year • “Victory City is a triumph—not because it exists, but because it is utterly enchanting.”—The Atlantic A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, The New Yorker, Time, NPR, The Washington Post, Chicago Public Library, Polygon, The Globe and Mail, Bookreporter In the wake of an unimportant battle between two long-forgotten kingdoms in fourteenth-century southern India, a nine-year-old girl has a divine encounter that will change the course of history. After witnessing the death of her mother, the grief-stricken Pampa Kampana becomes a vessel for a goddess, who begins to speak out of the girl’s mouth. Granting her powers beyond Pampa Kampana’s comprehension, the goddess tells her that she will be instrumental in the rise of a great city called Bisnaga—“victory city”—the wonder of the world. Over the next 250 years, Pampa Kampana’s life becomes deeply interwoven with Bisnaga’s, from its literal sowing from a bag of magic seeds to its tragic ruination in the most human of ways: the hubris of those in power. Whispering Bisnaga and its citizens into existence, Pampa Kampana attempts to make good on the task that the goddess set for her: to give women equal agency in a patriarchal world. But all stories have a way of getting away from their creator, and Bisnaga is no exception. As years pass, rulers come and go, battles are won and lost, and allegiances shift, the very fabric of Bisnaga becomes an ever more complex tapestry—with Pampa Kampana at its center. Brilliantly styled as a translation of an ancient epic, Victory City is a saga of love, adventure, and myth that is in itself a testament to the power of storytelling.
