India is a land of enormous diversity. Cross-cultural influences are everywhere in evidence, in the food people eat, the clothes they wear, and in the places they worship. This was especially the case in the India that existed from 1200 to 1750, before the European intervention. The book takes the reader on a journey across the political, economic, religious and cultural landscapes of medieval India, from the Ghurid conquests and the Dehli Sultanate to the great court of the Mughals. This was a time of conquest and consolidation, when Muslims and Hindus came together to create a unique culture which still resonates in today's India. As the first survey of its kind in over a decade, the book is a tour de force. It is beautifully illustrated and fluently composed, with a cast of characters which will educate students and general readers alike.

The authors provide a detailed history of the various regions of South Asia, and the cultural threads from Persia and Turkey to Indonesia and Malaysia carried on the carpet of Hindu mythology and Mughal tales. It was the colonial system that forced people into categories according to superficial ideas of colonial "experts". This book is a good lesson to correct our misunderstanding of many multicultural regions in the world, taught through the medium of architecture and art history of the region we now know as India.
