It comprises seventeen studies-by historians, sociologists, economists and political scientists-which examine developments within the subcontinent vis-à-vis the global context of capitalism. The issues discussed include the character and dynamics of historical systems; relations of production and appropriation in agriculture and industry; politics and the state; and the connections between the world economy and the regional or national economies of South Asia. More concretely, the focus of interest falls upon the boundaries of South Asian history and specific aspects of South Asia's historical experience; subcontinental trade relations with China, Russia, and the Middle East in the pre-modern and early-modern periods; the colonial legacy in India and Pakistan; village India and the nature of industrial development in the modern period.
