Description
India in the Persianate Age 1000-1765 by Richard M. Eaton is a sweeping history that explores the complex encounter between India's Sanskrit culture and Persian culture, which had a profound impact on the country's language, literature, cuisine, attire, religion, styles of rulership and warfare, science, art, music, architecture, and more.
This book tells the story of how 'Persianate' culture, introduced to India in the eleventh century by dynasties based in eastern Afghanistan, became thoroughly indigenized by the time of the great Mughals in the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries. Eaton's brilliant new history reveals a transregional world informed by a canon of texts that circulated through ever-widening networks across much of Asia.
The result was a unique cultural landscape that shaped India into what it is today. With its rich and original narrative, this book is an important monument to the often-forgotten world of medieval India.
