Satish Chandra\u2019s History of Medieval India is a comprehensive overview of the history of the Indian subcontinent during the thousand-year period between the eighth and the eighteenth century. History of Medieval India studies this interesting period in Indian history when the land underwent drastic changes, deeply influenced by the invading armies, religious movements and the vicissitudes of the changing political, economic and cultural scene. To tell the history of a land spanning the geographical dimensions and the political divisions of the Indian subcontinent is in itself a formidable task. Satish Chandra executes this difficult mission with the eye of an enquirer and the pen of a scholar. Both students and interested readers are sure to find this volume, dealing with the histories of the Cholas, Rajputs, the invading Turks, Vijayanagara kings, Bahmanids, Mughals, Marathas and others, an essential reader for understanding the history of medieval India.<\/p>\n
One definition includes the period from the 6th century,<\/sup>\u00a0the “first half of the 7th century”,<\/sup>\u00a0or the 8th century<\/sup>\u00a0up to the 16th century, essentially coinciding with the\u00a0Middle Ages<\/a>\u00a0of Europe. It may be divided into two periods: The ‘early medieval period’ which lasted from the 6th to the 13th century and the ‘late medieval period’ which lasted from the 13th to the 16th century, ending with the start of the\u00a0Mughal Empire<\/a>\u00a0in 1526. The Mughal era, from the 16th century to the 18th century, is often referred to as the\u00a0early modern period<\/a>,<\/sup>\u00a0but is sometimes also included in the ‘late medieval’ period.<\/sup><\/p>\n An alternative definition, often seen in those more recent authors who still use the term at all, brings the start of the medieval times forward, either to about 1000 CE, or to the 12th century.<\/sup>\u00a0The end may be pushed back to the 18th century, Hence, this period can be effectively considered as the beginning of Muslim domination to\u00a0British India<\/a>.<\/sup>\u00a0Or the “early medieval” period as beginning in the 8th century, and ending with the 11th century.<\/sup><\/p>\n The use of “medieval” at all as a term for periods in Indian history has often been objected to, and is probably becoming more rare (there is a similar discussion in terms of the\u00a0history of China<\/a>).<\/sup>\u00a0It is argued that neither the start nor the end of the period really mark fundamental changes in Indian history, comparable to the European equivalents.<\/sup>\u00a0Burton Stein<\/a>\u00a0still used the concept in his\u00a0A History of India<\/i>\u00a0(1998, referring to the period from the\u00a0Guptas<\/a>\u00a0to the Mughals), but most recent authors using it are Indian. Understandably, they often specify the period they cover within their titles.<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1637,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"mstoreapp_likes":0,"content-type":""},"product_cat":[51,85],"product_tag":[327,312,335],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/epdfs.in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1638"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/epdfs.in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/epdfs.in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epdfs.in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1638"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epdfs.in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1637"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/epdfs.in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1638"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epdfs.in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=1638"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epdfs.in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=1638"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
