"[Bhagavan's] grand theme...represents a quite radical reinterpretation.... [He] offers, in sum, a refreshing take on the Indian princely state system - one that, moreover, is quite entertaining to read.... [D]etermined iconoclasm...." Ian Copland, Director, Centre of South Asian Studies, Monash University (Australia), The Economic and Political Weekly "Bhagavan breaks new ground in the study of princely India by showing that states such as Baroda and Mysore provided spaces for postcolonial imaginations of the university long before colonial rule was formally ended. Sovereign Spheres is a welcome addition to historians' debates on colonial modernity."--Dipesh Chakrabarty, University of Chicago "Bhagavan's [book] has greatly enhanced our understanding of the interactions between Indian society on one hand and British colonial ideologies and administrative policies on the other...[and] combines a mastery of current scholarship in the relevant areas of modern South Asian history with well-researched evidence."--Michael H. Fisher, Oberlin College
