Claude Markovits is Senior Research Fellow Emeritus at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique.
'Ranging widely across economic, political, and cultural history,
India and the World succeeds at multiple levels. It is both
scholarly and highly accessible, and brings together an immense
amount of research on South Asia and its global diasporas. It is
sure to be widely appreciated by students and specialists alike.'
Sunil Amrith, Yale University
'A very welcome and sometimes controversial engagement with the
experience of India and Indians from the mid-18th century, drawing
on different histories and historiographies. Markovits focuses on
India's global connections and influence through multiple webs of
interconnection and circulation – economic and military, many
migrations, and the spread of culture and ideas.' Judith M. Brown,
Emeritus Beit Professor of Commonwealth History, University of
Oxford
'In this compelling and comprehensive work, Claude Markovits
follows India's trajectory of connections with the wider world over
several centuries, both before and after colonial rule. As always,
he paints with a nuanced palette, and offers a balanced overview of
many significant debates.' Sanjay Subrahmanyam, University of
California, Los Angeles
'Recommended.' M. H. Fisher, Choice Magazine
