There has been a debate on the extent to which the State is independent of the interests of the ruling class.  Sociologists and anthropologists interested in this issue have investigated State-formation, the relationship between kinship and pre-modern States, and the relation of State power with religious practices..\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePre-colonial India provides a unique testing ground for such debates, for it provides examples of State forms which vary enormously.  Yet serious consideration of the nature of State forms in India was often overwhelmed by a focus on 'caste' and 'brahminism'.  Now however, as Professor Kulke demonstrates in his introduction to this book - which consists of all the major essays on this important theme - several basic forms of the State can be isolated. .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough the notion of 'centralized empire' still dominates the historiography, alternative models such as 'the segmentary state' and the 'patrimonial state' have given rise to productive debates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeneral Editors' Preface\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER I\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction : The Study of the State In Pre-modern India \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER II\u003cbr\u003eHow Feudal was Indian Feudalism?
