Servants' pasts : vol. 1. Sixteenth to eighteenth century South Asia / edited by Nitin Sinha, Nitin Varma and Pankaj Jha. , Hyderabad : Orient BlackSwan , 2019. xviii, 421 : ill. : 23 cm 2001 Domestic servants have always been, and continue to be, ubiquitous in the households of middle and upper income rural and urban South Asia. They are also strikingly visible in art forms: paintings, sculptures, photographs, cinema, plays, stories, etc. Yet, they remain absent from scholarly research with very few recent exceptions. Domestic service was an important category of labour and social relationships in early Modern and colonial India but the domestic servant has largely remained absent from historians’ accounts of South Asia. Servants’ pasts, sixteenth to eighteenth century South Asia, Vol. 1, much like Vol. 2, covers a range of polities; it specifically explores the period from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, and provides untold accounts of the ideals and practices of Master/mistress-servant relationships during that period. Young and seasoned scholars from diverse backgrounds use various sources—stories, letters, ledges, visuals, biographies, chronicles, newspaper reports and legal injunctions—to unravel the complex relationships around service and servitude.
