Description

This collection of essays represents the best of S. Nurul Hasan's pioneering work in the field of medieval Indian history. It is a comprehensive record of his diverse and constantly evolving studies. His confrontation of the contentious issue of national identity, and the role which nationalism has played in distorting historical studies of India, is typically thought provoking. Professor Satish Chandra, a leading historian in the field of medieval Indian studies, offers new insights into Hasan's personality, achievements and monumental contribution to medieval Indian scholarship.
