Shortlisted For The Cundill History Prizea Fieldchanging History Explains How The Subcontinent Lost Its Political Identity As The Home Of All Religions And Emerged As India, The Land Of The Hindus.Did South Asia Have A Shared Regional Identity Prior To The Arrival Of Europeans In The Late Fifteenth Century? This Is A Subject Of Heated Debate In Scholarly Circles And Contemporary Political Discourse. Manan Ahmed Asif Argues That Pakistan, Bangladesh, And The Republic Of India Share A Common Political Ancestry: They Are All Part Of A Region Whose People Understand Themselves As Hindustani. Asif Describes The Idea Of Hindustan, As Reflected In The Work Of Native Historians From Roughly 1000 Ce To 1900 Ce, And How That Idea Went Missing.This Makes For A Radical Interpretation Of How India Came To Its Contemporary Political Identity. Asif Argues That A European Understanding Of India As Hindu Has Replaced An Earlier, Native Understanding Of India As Hindustan, A Home For All Faiths. Turning To The Subcontinents Medieval Past, Asif Uncovers A Rich Network Of Historians Of Hindustan Who Imagined, Studied, And Shaped Their Kings, Cities, And Societies. Asif Closely Examines The Most Complete Idea Of Hindustan, Elaborated By The Early Seventeenth Century Deccan Historian Firishta. His Monumental Work, Tarikhi Firishta, Became A Major Source For European Philosophers And Historians, Such As Voltaire, Kant, Hegel, And Gibbon During The Eighteenth And Nineteenth Centuries. Yet Firishtas Notions Of Hindustan Were Lost And Replaced By A Different Idea Of India That We Inhabit Today.The Loss Of Hindustan Reveals The Intellectual Pathways That Dispensed With Multicultural Hindustan And Created A Religiously Partitioned World Of Today.
