Warfare and weaponry in South Asia, 1000-1800
The essays in this volume represent pioneering attempts to shed light on the neglected field of South Asian military history. They trace the impressive military developments that occurred in South Asia - often in close interaction with the outside world - in organisation, tactics and technology
Ritual, State and History in South Asia
The contributions to this liber amicorum extend over the whole range of Indian civilisation. The contents are arranged into two sections. In the first part those articles are brought together which bear upon the earlier stages of Indian history or upon the reconstruction of a certain epoch. The contents of this section, which, in historical terms, span the period from the Indus civilisation up to medieval times, include several fine pieces of tex…
A British Indian Circumambulation
The motto I wrote at the top of this address and that I quoted just now is quite ordinary. But what else would a British civil servant, unmarried, note in his diary at a quiet post at the foot of the Himalayas? What fascinating details for that matter does one expect to find in the papers left behind about British Indian colonial relations in this century and the last? What indeed should a newly appointed professor tell you about them which is mo…
IX. Between Empire Building and State Formation. Official Elites in Java and Mughal India
The reason to compare the recent histories of India and Indonesia was that they were the scenes of the two most extensive and populous colonial empires of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The decision to push back the comparison to the pre-colonial era meant loosing track of the vital focus of the enterprise. Moreover, pre-colonial India presents a unity in only some respects whereas Indonesia as a territorial concept did not even exist th…
Two Colonial Empires
II. Some Remarks on the Development of Colonial Bureaucracies in India and Indonesia
A systematic comparison of the development of modern bureaucracies in India and Indonesia during the colonial era has never been made. No equivalent of the excellent work done by J.S. Furnivall on the colonial administration in Burma and Java is available. Yet, much of what he said is useful for the subject of this paper and we shall therefore lean heavily on him. It would be an overstatementto say that Indians before the Second World War felt in…

The Third Workshop of the Centre
If the earlier workshops organized by the Centre, ‘Expansion and Reaction’ (1975) and ‘Reappraisals in Overseas History’ (1976), aimed at producing, respectively, a survey of some of the main problems involved in modern studies of the history of European expansion and a bibliographic overview of the same field as it appears to us to-day, the third colloquium at last got down to work on a specific historical issue. True, the theme of the trading c…
