Description ▲
Since the 1940s, re-evaluations of the nature of the State have been a major preoccupation among historians worldwide. There has been a debate on the extent to which the State is independent of the interests of the ruling class. Pre-colonial India provides a unique testing ground for such debates, for it provides examples of State forms which vary enormously. This volume outlines and expands all the major discourses on India's various State forms.
