"Providing a different approach to the history of India than previously advocated,
this textbook argues that there was a constant interaction between peoples and cultures.
This interactive, dialogic approach provides a clear understanding of how power and
social relations operated in South Asia. Covering the history of India from Mughal
times to the first years of independence, the book consists of chapters divided roughly
between political and thematic questions. Topics discussed include: Mughal warfare
and military developments; the construction of Indian culture; Indian, regional and
local political articulation; India's independence and the end of British Rule; the
growth of the Hindu Right; the dispute over Kashmir; as well as a detailed timeline
that provides a useful overview to key events in the history of India. A set of background
reading is included after each chapter for readers who wish to go beyond the remit
of this text. Written in an accessible, narrative style, the textbook will be suitable
in courses on Indian and South Asian History, as well as courses on World History
and South Asian Studies. Eugene F. Irschick is professor of history at University
of California, Berkeley. In his research and published works, such as Dialogue and
History : Constructing South India, 1795-1895 (1994), he suggests that the production
of history and political structures is dialogic. He has been teaching courses on Indian
history at UC Berkeley for 16 years. Much of the time during his early teaching years
was focused on minority and separatist politics in south India during the 20th century.
Recently, he has been teaching courses on women's history in South Asia as well as
courses on post-colonialism"--Provided by publisher
