Opis

An insightful exploration of how the boundaries of the modern South Asian states were created in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, based on a careful examination of original materials in archives in England and India. This was the final project of the great historian, Ainslie T. Embree, and is destined to be a classic in the history of South Asian nation building.
