| 520 | |a South Asia has always played a part in the European imagining of race, but has not been considered in the scholarly literature of the present generation; nor, recently, have concepts of race figured very prominently in South Asian Studies. This volume constitutes one of the first attempts to raise the question comparatively and over a long time-span with regard to South Asia. | ||
| 520 | 8 | |a It examines whether there were South Asian concepts of race, or, as has often been argued, race became an issue in the subcontinent only under Western influence after the eighteenth century. | |

This book will interest all scholars of Indian history. | |
