Reviews
"A piece of unquestioned expertise. It brings a fresh picture of the statecraft of the Vijayanagara empire-a most puzzling, cosmopolitan South Asian polity-at the peak of its career in the early 16th century. . . . This not only historically but also theoretically informed book is a must-read for those interested in Vijayanagara history or polemics between Dvaita and Advaita schools. It is also an important read for all those sensitive to the problem of finding an appealing language to effectively represent the mutual interdependence of sociopolitical realities, intellectual production and historical thinking." * Reading Religion *
