Reviews

"Overall, this is a well-researched monograph that decrypts the regional dynamics involving the Mughal administration’s rapprochement with the chieftains as local power holders. Set in the eastern region, the monograph connects the local history of zamindars with the wider political processes along the edges of empire." - Jha Murari, School of Arts and Sciences, Ahmedabad University
