"An important and beautifully written book that sheds new light on the history
of the Deccan and its peoples in a period too often either taken for granted or
ignored.

A stunning debut."
– Peter Frankopan, Director, Oxford Centre for Byzantine Research
and author of The Silk Roads

taking you places . . . a magnificent book.

historical practice.’
