Book Review: Prakash Kumar, Indigo Plantations and Science in Colonial India:
TL;DR: Siddiqui as discussed by the authors argued that Muslim society in the Delhi sultanate was not a monolithic one, but a composite one, depending on how that term is theorised.
Abstract: Indian Historical Review, 41, 2 (2014): 323–381 legal cleavages between elite slaves and freeborn Turks, Muslim society in the Delhi sultanate was anything but monolithic. Indeed, it would seem that Muslim society itself was perhaps a ‘composite’ one, depending on how that term is theorised. Finally, the book could have benefited from a map, since many of the author’s arguments are geographically contextualised. Nonetheless, Prof. Siddiqui is to be congratulated for publishing a number of finely-researched individual essays on a period of Indian history that remains far too neglected.
