Pre-colonial and British India surveyed by a leading authority on Indian history.

Full Description

This historical study ranges across the political and economic landscape of pre-colonial and British India. It opens with an examination of Marxist historiography and Marx's own perception of India. Habib goes on to examine the place of peasantry and caste in Indian history, the potential for indigenous capitalist development, the various forms of class struggle, the nature of capital accumulation under the Mughals, and the impact of colonialism on the Indian economy. The book provides an account of Indian which is a riposte to current fashions in the study of colonialism. Irfan Habib is the author of "An Atlas of the Mughal Empire", and joint editor of the "Cambridge Economic History of India".
