Through essays on South Asian art, architecture, religion, politics, theatre, jewellery, and cultural practices, the contributors demonstrate that social and political development is not a simple linear process but often involves the reinterpretation and reintegration of earlier traditions. The book offers an interdisciplinary perspective combining art history, political science, sociology, and cultural studies.
