Descrizione The Indian Frontier
The books brings together the works of Gommans on the warhorse and its impact on medieval and early modern state-formation in South Asia. Gommans observes that Indian empires always had to deal with a highly dynamic inner frontier between semi-arid wilderness and settled agriculture. Such inner frontiers could only be bridged by the ongoing movements of Turkish, Afghan, Rajput & other warbands. In discussing the breeding trading of horses & their role in medieval and early modern South Asian warfare, he also makes comparisons with Europe and the Middle East.Please note: Taylor & Francis does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka
