This original contribution to Indian history, focusing on
contemporary and largely indigenous documents, introduces a set of
concepts for the analysis of late Mughal rule. More specifically it
examines the origins and development of the Maratha svardjya or
'self-rule' within the context of declining Muslim power. It traces
the expansion of Maratha dominion to a process of fitna, a policy
of 'shifting alliances' which was recurrent in the wake of Muslim
expansion throughout its history. The book gives an interesting
perspective on Hindu-Muslim relationships in the pre-British period
as well as on the nature of the Indo-Muslim state and its most
important successor polity, on its capacity for change and
development in the intermediate sections of society, the
land-tenurial system, the monetization of the economy, and on the
fiscal system.
