"Protected by vast mountains and seas, the Indian subcontinent might seem a nearly
complete and self-contained world with its own religions, philosophies, and social
systems. And yet this ancient land and its varied societies experienced prolonged
and intense interaction with the peoples and cultures of East and Southeast Asia,
Europe, Africa, and especially Central Asia and the Iranian plateau. Richard M. Eaton
tells this extraordinary story with relish and originality, as he traces the rise
of Persianate culture, a many-faceted transregional world connected by ever-widening
networks across much of Asia. Introduced to India in the eleventh century by dynasties
based in eastern Afghanistan, this culture would become progressively indigenized
in the time of the great Mughals (sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries).
Eaton brilliantly elaborates the complex encounter between India's Sanskrit culture--an
equally rich and transregional complex that continued to flourish and grow throughout
this period--and Persian culture, which helped shape the Delhi Sultanate, the Mughal
Empire, and a host of regional states. This long-term process of cultural interaction
is profoundly reflected in the languages, literatures, cuisines, attires, religions,
styles of rulership and warfare, science, art, music, and architecture--and more--of
South Asia"--Provided by publisher
