Description

The Heirs of Vijayanagara: Court Politics in Early Modern South India The Heirs of Vijayanagara: Court Politics in Early Modern South India by Lennart Bes ISBN - 9789394262706 Cover - HardBound Publication Year - 2024 Pages - 594 p. Price - INR 2750.00 This comparative study investigates court politics in four kingdoms that succeeded the Vijayanagara empire during the 16th to 18th centuries: Ikkeri, Tanjavur, Madurai, and Ramnad. Building on a unique combination of unexplored Indian texts and Dutch archival records, this research offers a captivating new analysis of political culture, power relations, and dynastic developments. This monograph provides, in great detail, both new facts and fresh insights that contest existing scholarship. By highlighting their competitive, fluid, and dynamic nature, it undermines the historiography viewing these courts as harmonic, hierarchic, and static. Far from being remote, ritualised figures, we find kings and Brahmins contesting with other courtiers for power. At the same time, by stressing continuities with the past, this study questions the recent scholarship that perceives a fundamentally new form of Nayaka kingship. Thus, this research has important repercussions for the way we perceive both these kingdoms and their 'medieval' precursors. About the Author Lennart Bes is an Indologist and historian studying political culture in pre-modern India. He has published on south India's late medieval/early modern kingdoms and Dutch sources on (South) Asia; and has been teaching Asian history, Dutch overseas history, and archival studies at Leiden University, the University of Tokyo, and Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta. He is presently researching the courts of 17th- and 18th-century Kerala.
