This book traces connections in pre-modern Asia by looking at
different worlds across geography, history and society. It examines
how regions were connected by people, families, trade and politics
as well as how they were maintained and remembered. The volume
analyses these intersections of memory and narrative, of people and
places and the routes that took people to these places, using a
variety of sources. It also studies whether these intersections
remain in later and present times, and their larger impact on our
understanding of history. The narratives cover several journeys
drawn from archaeology, texts and cultural imagination: trade
routes, marts, fairs, forts, religious pilgrimages, inscriptions,
calligraphy and coinages spanning diverse regions, including
India-Tibet-British forays, India-Malay intersections, corporate
enterprise in the Indian Ocean, impacts of slave trade in Southeast
Asia shaped by the Dutch East India company, movements and
migrations around Indo-Iranian borderlands and those in western and
southern India. The book will greatly interest scholars and
researchers of history and archaeology, cultural studies and
literature.
