Precolonial India in Practice: Society, Region, and Identity in Medieval Andhra by Cynthia Talbot
English | September 20, 2001 | ISBN-10: 0195136616 | 328 pages | PDF | 18,5 MB
The society of traditional India is frequently characterized as static and dominated by caste. This study challenges older interpretations, arguing that medieval India was actually a time of dynamic change and fluid social identities. Using records of religious endowments from Andhra Pradesh, author Cynthia Talbot reconstructs a regional society of the precolonial past as it existed in practice.
