It studies the art of diplomacy by discussing the diplomatic relations between the Marathas and various European companies, as well as the indigenous regional states. The author also probes into the Maratha naval policy, the evolution of a composite Deccani culture and the cultural flux that was taking place within the Maratha country. Through an interdisciplinary lens, the volume examines how caste and gender relations operated, how the idea of dissent was generated as well as the socio-political impact of various linguistic, ethnic and religious groups. Through a study of monuments, sculpture and paintings prevalent in the region, the book also discusses the developments in art and architecture in the Deccan. Rich in archival sources, this book is a must read for scholars and researchers of Indian history, colonial history, South Asian history, Maratha history and history in general.   aEnglish.  aMarathasxHistoryzIndia.  aEuropeansxHistoryzIndia.  aDeccan (India)v17th century.xHistory  aDiplomatic relationszIndia.  aArt and architecturezDeccan (India).  aCultural pluralismzDeccan (India).   aCaste zDeccan (India).    aGender relationszDeccan (India).    2ddccBK  00104070aNASSDOCbNASSDOCd2024-03-28eGratisg0.00iNAl0o954.8 KAD-Dp54763r2025-08-26 00:00:00v1295.00w2024-03-28yBK
