This book offers a much-needed alternative perspective (coming from Persian sources) on European constructions of India. It throws significant light on Indo-Persian culture and on the complex interaction between Europeans and Indians in the eighteenth century.
Readership: Scholars and students of history of the eighteenth century, cultural encounters, and travel as well as those from political science and cultural studies.
