Protected by vast mountains and seas, the
Indian subcontinent might seem a nearly complete and self-contained world with
its own religions, philosophies, and social systems. And yet this ancient land
and its varied societies experienced prolonged and intense interaction with the
peoples and cultures of East and Southeast Asia, Europe, Africa, and especially
Central Asia and the Iranian plateau.
Richard M. Eaton tells this extraordinary story
with relish and originality, as he traces the rise of Persianate culture, a
many-faceted transregional world connected by ever-widening networks across
much of Asia. Introduced to India in the eleventh century by dynasties based in
eastern Afghanistan, this culture would become progressively indigenized in the
time of the great Mughals (sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries).
Eaton brilliantly elaborates the complex encounter between India's Sanskrit
culture—an equally rich and transregional complex that continued to flourish
and grow throughout this period—and Persian culture, which helped shape the
Delhi Sultanate, the Mughal Empire, and a host of regional states. This
long-term process of cultural interaction is profoundly reflected in the
languages, literatures, cuisines, attires, religions, styles of rulership and
warfare, science, art, music, and architecture—and more—of South Asia.
