Like its companion volume Mughals and Franks, this book deploys the concept of 'connected histories' to shed important light on aspects of the history of early modern Eurasia. It critically analyses the archival data to challenge certain enduring beliefs regarding temporal and geographical frontiers in the task of history writing.
