"The eighteenth century-the era of the fall of the Mughals, the rise of regional successor states, and the beginnings of British domination-has been a topic of intense academic debate. Can these events be understood as 'revolutionary', involving the fall of a great Asian imperial system and the emergence of British colonial rule with entirely different priorities? Or, were there underlying continuities between the Mughals, their Indian successors, and the early British, which produced a more evolutionary pattern of change?" "This volume pulls together some of the best essays on a subject with a wide-ranging introduction and exhaustive bibliography. Part of the prestigious Themes in Indian History series, it will be useful for teachers, researchers, and students of Mughal and Modern Indian history, economic history, and those interested in the establishment of colonial rule in South Asia.
