In the early years of the twenty-first century, China and India
have emerged as world powers. In many respects, this is a return to
the historical norm for both countries. For much of the early
modern period, China and India were global leaders in a variety of
ways. In this book, prominent scholars seek to understand modern
China and India through an unprecedented comparative analysis of
their long histories. Using new sources, making new connections,
and reexamining old assumptions, noted scholars of China and India
pair up in each chapter to tackle major questions by combining
their expertise. What China and India Once Were details how these
two cultural giants arrived at their present state, considers their
commonalities and divergences, assesses what is at stake in their
comparison, and, more widely, questions whether European modernity
provides useful contrasts. In jointly composed chapters,
contributors explore ecology, polity, gender relations, religion,
literature, science and technology, and more, to provide the
richest comparative account ever offered of China and India before
the modern era. What China and India Once Were establishes
innovative frameworks for understanding the historical and cultural
roots of East and South Asia in global context, drawing on the
variety of Asian pasts to offer new ways of thinking about Asian
presents.
