This volume covers a spectrum of socio-economic views on, and reviews of , c 1200-1500, the pre-Mughal period. It begins at the point from which a systematic treatment of Indian economic history becomes possible. It closes on the eve of the subjugation of the country and its economy by Britain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwenty-seven essays in fifteen chapters by social and economic historians of national and international renown together construct an India whose modern constructions along broader lines and patterns are seen to emerge in the second volume to this history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first volume of The Cambridge History of India was published in 1922. Explaining its raison \u003cbr\u003ed’etre, the editor, Professor E J Rapson, referred to the vast accumulation of knowledge on Indian history and the consequent need for an authoritative summary. As the history of that project later revealed, the knowledge transmitted contained serious gaps. In particular, the series devoted hardly any attention to economic and social history. On the other hand, it is now recognized that The Cambridge History of India was more than a précis of existing knowledge. Its contributors not only added to the existing stock of information; but their interpretations, in spite of limitations of the set framework and the kind of bias inseparable from the times, also provoked further reflection and research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLIST OF MAPS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePREFACE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINTRODUCTION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Geographical Background by Irfan Habib\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSouth India: Some General considerations of the Region and its Early History\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART I: c 1200-1500\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNORTHERN INDIA UNDER THE SULTANATE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEconomic Conditions before 1200\u003cbr\u003eAgrarian Economy\u003cbr\u003eNon-Agricultural Production and Urban Economy\u003cbr\u003eThe Currency System\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVIJYANAGARA c 1350-1564\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE MARITIME TRADE OF INDIA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART II: c 1500-1750\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePOPULATION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE STATE AND THE ECONOMY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Mughal Empire\u003cbr\u003eMaharashtra and the Deccan: a Note\u003cbr\u003eThe South\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE SYSTEM OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMughal India\u003cbr\u003eSouth India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAGRARIAN RELATIONS AND LAND REVENUE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNorth India\u003cbr\u003eThe Medieval Deccan and Maharashtra\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNON-AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION\u003cbr\u003eMughal India\u003cbr\u003eMaharashtra and the Deccan\u003cbr\u003eSouth India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINLAND TRADE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMONETARY SYSTEM AND PRICES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFOREIGN TRADE\u003cbr\u003eEuropean Trade with India\u003cbr\u003eIndia Merchants and the Trade in the Indian Ocean\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTOWNS AND CITIES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMughal India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Far South\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSTANDARD OF LIVING\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMughal India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaharashtra and the Deccan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAPPENDIX \u003cbr\u003eThe Medieval Economy of Assam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Tapan Raychaudhuri \/ Orient Longman \/ Hardcover","offer_id":68153587433840,"sku":"14260","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/14260.jpg?v=1793911382","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/the-cambridge-economic-history-of-india-volume-i-1200-1750","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
