A Rationality Immersed in Religiosity
Abu’l Fazl is often invested with a dichotomy between reason and religion, grandly upholding the majesty of reason ( mā’qūlāt) over received blind faith ( taqlīd), drawing inspiration from varied sources but falling short of going the distance towards ‘scientific rationality’. Abu’l Fazl’s rationality had little in common with it; it was rooted in a new dichotomy he was constituting, one between universal religiosity and denominational religions,…

Time in Abu’l Faz.l’s Historiography
History writing in medieval India was predominantly set within the framework of Islam without becoming a branch of theology. The temporal parameters were almost invariably drawn from the hijrī era, which sharply divided time into the age of jahaliyat, ignorance, and one lit up by Islam. It was also primarily centred on the history of the ruling Muslim dynasties whose political lineage was delineated through, and was confined to, the world of Isla…

The Celebration of Failure as Dissent in Urdu Ghazal
Recent years have brought a spate of serials centred on the theme of Urdu ghazal to the Indian television screens. The image of the ghazal in these serials is one of a kind of rhymed verse sung by courtesans in their 'kothas' (residence-cum-performance locales), under the appreciative eye of the poet, and often lustful eye of a decrepit zamindar whose purse is heavy but judgement is light. The singing is accompanied by some dancing, a few musical…
Medieval India
The notion of a 'Muslim' period of Indian history inhered in the numerous court chronicles of "medieval' India, written in the Persian language. This derived from the assumption of the rise of Islam as the dividing line in 'world history', going back to Arab and Iranian historiographical tradi tions. Abul Fazl, writing at the end of the sixteenth century, posited an alternative conception of historical time as continuous and teleological. James M…

Was there feudalism in Indian history
The notion of an 'Indian feudalism' has predominated in the recent historiography of pre-colonial India. This notion, in its different interpretations, has West European feudalism as the model for reference. At times the close resemblance of Indian feudalism to this model has been emphasised, while on other occasions its divergence from it has been given prominence. The manorial regime and the role of trade provide the points of departure for com…
