A Marxist scholar and historian, Irfan Habib has been a towering
presence in the Indian intellectual scene for over four decades.
His formidable intellectual reputation, established in the sixties
with the publication of 'The Agrarian System of Mughal India',
broadened as he became an authority in the entire area of Indian
history from ancient to modern. Professor Habib's undiminished
commitment to the cause of socialism is reflected in these highly
original and bold analyses of Marxist historiography and theories
of socialist construction.
This volume comprises essays from scholars around the world
representing the wide variety of Habib's interests and
contributions. Ranging from history to politics and economics, the
essays cover both the medieval period and modern India, as well as
theories for the future of this emerging superpower. This special
edition also features an essay by Irfan Habib, originally published
as 'The Economic History of Medieval India: A Survey', covering the
Delhi Sultanate, the Vijayanagara economy and the economy of Mughal
India.
