520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. In this fascinating account of one of the least known parts of South Asia, Eaton recounts the history of the Deccan plateau in southern India from the fourteenth century to the rise of European colonialism. He does so, vividly, through the lives of eight Indians who lived at different times during this period, and who each represented something particular about the Deccan. In the first chapter, for example, the author describes the demise of the regional kingdom through the life of a maharaja. In the second, a Sufi sheikh illustrates Muslim piety and state authority. Other characters include a merchant, a general, a slave, a poet, a bandit and a female pawnbroker. Their stories are woven together into a rich narrative tapestry, which illumines the most important social processes of the Deccan across four centuries. This is a much-needed book by the most highly regarded scholar in the field.<br/><br/>Eight Indian Lives illustrates the social history of the Deccan, one of the least known and least understood parts of India<br/>There is nothing else like it: a much-needed and long awaited book by one of the leading scholars in the field<br/>For students and scholars of South Asian and pre-colonial history
