Studies in the Anatomy of a Transformation
註釋This volume contains wide-ranging surveys of various aspects of the history of Awadh from its position as a province of the Mughal Empire to a successor state, a semi-colony under the Nawabi regime, the British annexation and the resistance in 1857. The manner of Mughal administration, the emergence of the class of taluqadars, the Company s constant pressure on the Nawabi regime, the cultural and agrarian milieu of a religious establishment, the bibliography of a scholarly rebel of 1857 - all bring home to the reader different facets of the historical personality of Awadh. The studies form an important complement (and corrective) to much of current historical writing of Awadh.
