A pioneering piece of ethnohistory, The Hollow Crown uses a variety
of interdisciplinary means to reconstruct the sociocultural history
of a warrior polity in south India between the fourteenth and the
twentieth centuries. Central to the book is the belief that
comparative sociology has systematically denied the importance of
the Indian state and obscured the political basis of Indian society
by representing caste as fundamentally a religious system. In
reconstructing the history of the polity that eventually became the
colonial princely state of Pudukkottai, Dr Dirks therefore raises a
whole series of issues concerning the methodologies of history and
anthropology, the character of Tamil kingship and social
organization, the relationship between politics and ritual, the
impact of colonialism and 'modernization', and the dynamics of the
whole last millennium of south Indian history.
