Finally, it is a study of business and economic decision-making under pre-modern conditions. The book is based on an extensive analysis of the quantitative and qualitative material available in the Company's archives.

The data-processing of the quantitative evidence and its subsequent statistical analysis was carried out on a computer, and the book contains comprehensive tables on the volume and value of the Company's trade, prices of commercial goods, and on monetary and financial history. The extensive scope of the book and its consideration not only of the Company but of the economies in which it operated make it essential reading for all concerned with the economic history of the period, both of Europe and Asia.

Yet for most contemporary New Age and popular writers, Tantra is celebrated as a much-needed affirmation of physical pleasure and sex: indeed as a ‘cult of ecstasy’ that serves to counter the perceived hypocritical prudery of many Westerners. However, in recent years, Tantra has become the focus of a still larger (and fraught) cultural and political debate.

In the eyes of many Hindus, much of the western literature on Tantra represents a form of cultural imperialism and neo-colonialism, which continues to portray India (less)

Based on interviews conducted over a year of intensive fieldwork in Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore, the book takes the reader right into the intimate worlds of not just the complainants but also the defendants.

The case studies each presented in a unique and fresh manner examine issues of power struggle, marital expectations, values, roles and financial expectations within a patriarchal structure as the root cause of most of the problems related to marriage. They illustrate that the legal framework of India is also partly responsible for marital violence, and suggest that (less)

In a journey across two thousand years, this enthralling book, written by a leading South Asian historian, describes the ties of trade, migration, and investment between India and the rest of the world and shows how changing patterns of globalization have reverberated in economic policy, politics, and political ideology within India. Along the way, the book asks three major questions: Is this a particularly Indian story? When did the big turning points happen? And is it possible to distinguish the modern from the pre-modern pattern of exchange? These questions invite a new approach to the study of Indian history by placing the region at the center of the narrative.

This is global history written (less)
