Mewat and Meos in Mughal India

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The book charts the social, economic, and political history of Mewat from the 13th to the early 18th centuries. Denting the conventional image of communities in medieval India as self-sufficient, changeless, and autonomous entities, it takes up the case of Meo community of Mewat to argue that communities have regularly undergone profound socio-economic changes.
