Mughal political histories. 520 $a "For over five hundred years, Muslim dynasties ruled parts of northern and central India, starting with the Ghurids in the 1190s through the fracturing of the Mughal Empire in the early eighteenth century. Scholars have long drawn upon works written in Persian and Arabic about this epoch, yet they have neglected the many histories that India's learned elite wrote about Indo-Muslim rule in Sanskrit. These works span the Delhi Sultanate and Mughal Empire and discuss Muslim-led kingdoms in the Deccan and even as far south as Tamil Nadu. They constitute a major archive for understanding significant cultural and political changes that shaped early modern India and the views of those who lived through this crucial period. Audrey Truschke offers a groundbreaking analysis of these Sanskrit texts that sheds light on both historical Muslim political leaders on the subcontinent and how premodern Sanskrit intellectuals perceived the "Muslim Other." She analyzes and theorizes how Sanskrit historians used the tools of their literary tradition to document Muslim governance and, later, as Muslims became an integral part of Indian cultural and political worlds, Indo-Muslim rule. Truschke demonstrates how this new archive lends insight into formulations and expressions of premodern political, social, cultural, and religious identities. By elaborating the languages and identities at play in premodern Sanskrit historical works, this book expands our historical and conceptual resources for understanding premodern South Asia, Indian intellectual history, and the impact of Muslim peoples on non-Muslim societies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a India $x Sources. $x Islamic influences $x Sources. 651 0 $a India $x Sources. $y 1200-1765 $x Sources. 651 0 $a India $x Sources. $x Sources. 651 0 $a India $x Historiography. 650 0 $a Sanskrit language $x History. 650 0 $a Sanskrit literature $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Literature and history $z India. 650 0 $a Muslims $z India $x Sources. $x Sources. 650 0 $a Islam $z India $x Sources. $x Sources. 650 7 $a Civilization $x Sources. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01352403 650 7 $a Historiography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958221 650 7 $a History $x Sources. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958295 650 7 $a Islam $x Sources. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00979851 650 7 $a Literature and history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000077 650 7 $a Sanskrit language. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01105170 650 7 $a Sanskrit literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01105239 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 648 7 $a 1200-1765 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Truschke, Audrey, $t The language of history $d New York : Columbia University Press, 2021. $z 9780231551953 $w (DLC) 2020021928 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317014535.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=ABD7870CCF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
