Export industries and handicraft production under the Sultans of Kashmir
This article examines the evidence of change and growth in the external trade of the Vale of Kashmir under the rule of the independent Sultans of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The fertility and temperate climate of the enclosed lacustrine plain (‘Vale’) of Kashmir, situated on a caravan-route between hot and cold zones, was capable of sustaining a considerable artisanal population. The historical vectors of an industrial expansion at the…
Ganj
Article consacre au Ganj, jeu de parcours en spirale semblable au jeu de l’oie, en vogue dans l’Inde Moghole. Afin de determiner l’origine et l’histoire de ce jeu, l’A. etudie la famille des jeux de parcours et ses plus anciennes manifestations ; il examine ensuite l’origine du jeu de l’oie occidental, possiblement introduit en Europe depuis le monde musulman ; puis son introduction en Inde comme jeu « Firangi », c'est-a-dire jeu occidental, puis…
Bāyazīd Beg Turkmān's Pilgrimage to Makka and Return to Gujarat
Before Timur Came
The present essay examines information on the relationship of provincial settlements in the territories of the Dehli Sultanate with the capital city during the fourteenth century. This is drawn mainly from hagiographical sources in Persian rather than the much-utilized series of chronicles compiled in the city of Dehli itself. After a brief discussion of some of the factors of continuity and change operative in the fourteenth century in the terri…

The Maritime Trade of India
This chapter discusses significant developments, which occurred in the pattern of trade in early medieval centuries in the expansion of maritime activity in the eastern waters of the Indian Ocean and the China Sea. The presence of Indian traders, and of Indian men of religion as a civilizing force, led not only to a shared common culture, but also an expansion of the textile trade towards the growing markets, to developments of shipbuilding in so…
Economic Conditions before 1200
This chapter discusses the medieval Indian economic history before the Ghorian conquests of the late twelfth century. Global historical factors which appear to have contributed to the decline in prosperity of both areas include invasion by fresh waves of barbarian central Asian tribes; the closure of the silk-route through the Tarim basin and north-west India to the Arabian Sea, and the rise of Islam. The coastal areas of Gujarat and Coromandel r…

The Broach coin-hoard as evidence of the import of valuta across the Arabian Sea during the 13th and 14th centuries
The Broach (Bharoch) hoard found in 1882, though its publication is statistically incomplete, offers evidence of the movement and import of valuta into western India during the 13th and more particularly the 14th century. Broach and Cambay were the principal ports of Gujarat during this period. The hoard, found in a brass pot, consisted of 448 gold coins, besides pieces of coins and a small ingot, and about 1,200 silver coins and pieces. The coin…

The tomb of Buhlūl Lōdī
The important series of pre-Mughal monuments in the Lodi Gardens (the former Lady Willingdon Park), set in the midst of the residential area of New Delhi, is familiar to most visitors to the city. Apart from a handsome Mughal bridge (the Āṭhpula) and some small and insignificant outbuildings, there are five main structures which lie along a south-south-west to north-north-east axis. The most southerly monument is the domed octagonal tomb thought …

The Coinage and Genealogy of the Later Jāms of Sind
It is so long since Indo-Muslim numismatics first attracted scholarly attention and there have been so many devoted labourers in this field that it is gratifying to note a new coinage struck by yet another Indo-Muslim dynasty. To the best of the knowledge of the present writer no coinage of the Samma Jāms of Sind (14th–16th century a.d. ) has yet been published. This paper records two varieties of their copper coinage, dating from the latest peri…

A corpus of 'Mughal' glass
In the history of Indian art some areas are in very much better order than others. For those whose interests are concentrated in the Mughal period (sixteenth to eighteenth centuries), the study of the history of painting has been vastly advanced in the last 20 or 30 years. Every year increases the great number of paintings known to exist in public or private collections, or passing through the sale-rooms and the stocks of dealers in three contine…
