This book looks at movements of communities which formed the lower
and middle rungs of society in medieval and early colonial India.
It presents migration, mobility and memories from a specifically
Indian perspective, breaking away from previous Eurocentric
studies. The essays in the volume focus on labour, peasant and
craft migrations, and in fleshing out the causes and trajectories
taken by these communities, they speak to each other by addressing
similar issues as well as documenting varying responses to
analogous situations. A fascinating history of migrations of
'people from below', the volume adopts a trans-disciplinary
approach and uses inscriptions, official records, and literary
texts along with community narratives and folk tradition. This will
be of great interest to scholars and students of migration and
diaspora studies, medieval and modern South Asian history, social
anthropology and subaltern studies.
