Protected by vast mountains and seas, the Indian subcontinent might seem a nearly complete and selfcontained world with its own religions, philosophies, and social systems. And yet this ancient land and its varied societies experienced prolonged and intense interaction with the peoples and cultures of East and Southeast Asia, Europe, Africa, and especially Central Asia and the Iranian plateau.Richard M. Eaton tells this extraordinary story with relish and originality, as he traces the rise of Persianate culture, a manyfaceted transregional world connected by everwidening networks across much of Asia. Introduced to India in the eleventh century by dynasties based in eastern Afghanistan, this culture would become progressively indigenized in the time of the great Mughals (sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries). Eaton brilliantly elaborates the complex encounter between India's Sanskrit culturean equally rich and transregional complex that continued to flourish and grow throughout this periodand Persian culture, which helped shape the Delhi Sultanate, the Mughal Empire, and a host of regional states. This longterm process of cultural interaction is profoundly reflected in the languages, literatures, cuisines, attires, religions, styles of rulership and warfare, science, art, music, and architectureand moreof South Asia.
