Kingship and Colonialism in India’s Deccan 1850–1948

Delve into the complex interplay of power dynamics in India with Kingship and Colonialism in India’s Deccan 1850–1948 by Cohen. Published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2007, this insightful 232-page paperback challenges the oversimplified narratives of 'civilizational clashes'. Cohen presents a nuanced perspective on the relationships between Hindu, Muslim, and colonial forces, drawing on a wealth of archival sources from London, Delhi, and Hyderabad. The book uniquely incorporates interviews and private family records, as well as princely-colonial documents that have been discovered outside traditional archival repositories. This first edition not only enriches our understanding of India's Deccan region but also invites readers to reconsider the historical complexities that shaped it. Ideal for historians, students, and anyone interested in the intricate tapestry of India's past, this book is a must-read.
