With a curation of objects from the prehistoric ages through twenty-first century India, Sudeshna Guha provides a panoramic view of the rich histories of the subcontinent. The incisive essays in this collection detail not just the objects but the histories of their reception: examining how changing times and attitudes cast their shadow on the ways in which the past is interpreted and narrated. In doing so, A History of India through 75 Objects inspires us to interrogate our own notions of a knowable past and fixed national history. Teeming with thought-provoking insights and surprising anecdotes, the essays instill a sense of wonder about the continuous processes by which histories are constructed.

This book takes a dramatically original approach to the history of humanity, using objects which previous civilisations have left behind them, often accidentally, as prisms through which we can explore past worlds and the lives of the men and women who lived in them. The book's range is enormous. It begins with one of the earliest surviving objects made by human hands, a chopping tool from the Olduvai gorge in Africa, and ends with an object from the 21st century which represents the world we live in today. Neil MacGregor's aim is not simply to describe these remarkable things, but to show us their significance - how a stone pillar tells us about a great Indian emperor preaching tolerance to his people, how Spanish pieces of eight tell us about the beginning of a global currency or how an early Victorian tea-set tells us about the impact of empire. Each chapter immerses the reader in a past civilisation accompanied by an exceptionally well-informed guide. Seen through this lens, history is a kaleidoscope - shifting, interconnected, constantly surprising, and shaping our world today in ways that most of us have never imagined. An intellectual and visual feast, it is one of the most engrossing and unusual history books published in years.

The story of India through its greatest treasures A comprehensive history of India told through 100 objects and monuments. If the captivating bronze dancing girl of the Harappan civilization heralded the dawn of the earliest cities, the stunning Sanchi Stupa symbolized the peak of Buddhist religion in India. If Tipu's Tiger, an intricate, almost life-sized mechanical toy, represented the king of Mysore's resistance against the East India Company, Ranjit Singh's Golden Throne was a testament to the majestic nature of the Sikh empire. Whether it is the striking sculptures of the famed city of Hampi, the beautiful folios of poet Amir Khusro's quintets, the breathtaking Konark wheel, or the cursed Koh-i-Noor and the elegant paintings of Raja Ravi Varma, these artifacts are a testament to India's rich culture and history. Treasures from India is more than a curation of objects. It tells the story of a country through its treasures, art, and monuments. It begins with prehistory and makes its way through the different eras that have defined India's history. Including the most iconic of objects, the book also showcases treasures that represent the many cultures that make up India, to provide space to those communities that have traditionally been overlooked. Theme and narrative spreads act as bookends to the featured objects and monuments - providing the reader with context for the items while discussing their significance and relevance. As much for a history enthusiast as it is for a reader who wants a keepsake, Treasures from India is a luxurious book that promises to be a perfect addition to any personal library.

Objects of Translation offers a nuanced approach to the entanglements of medieval elites in the regions that today comprise Afghanistan, Pakistan, and north India. The book--which ranges in time from the early eighth to the early thirteenth centuries--challenges existing narratives that cast the period as one of enduring hostility between monolithic "Hindu" and "Muslim" cultures. These narratives of conflict have generally depended upon premodern texts for their understanding of the past. By contrast, this book considers the role of material culture and highlights how objects such as coins, dress, monuments, paintings, and sculptures mediated diverse modes of encounter during a critical but neglected period in South Asian history. The book explores modes of circulation--among them looting, gifting, and trade--through which artisans and artifacts traveled, remapping cultural boundaries usually imagined as stable and static. It analyzes the relationship between mobility and practices of cultural translation, and the role of both in the emergence of complex transcultural identities. Among the subjects discussed are the rendering of Arabic sacred texts in Sanskrit on Indian coins, the adoption of Turko-Persian dress by Buddhist rulers, the work of Indian stone masons in Afghanistan, and the incorporation of carvings from Hindu and Jain temples in early Indian mosques. Objects of Translation draws upon contemporary theories of cosmopolitanism and globalization to argue for radically new approaches to the cultural geography of premodern South Asia and the Islamic world.
