Based on the chance survival of a remarkable cache of documents, India and the Islamic Heartlands recaptures a long-vanished and largely forgotten world from the eighteenth century, spanning much of today's Middle East and South Asia. Gagan Sood focuses on a sub-elite class of ordinary people - traders, pilgrims, bankers, clerics, brokers, scribes, among others - who were engaged in activities marked by large distances and long silences. By elucidating their everyday lives in a range of settings, from the family household to the polity at large, Sood pieces together the connective tissue of an obscured and neglected world that lay mostly beyond the sovereign purview. Recapturing this world helps us make better sense of the region during a pivotal moment in its history, and offers new answers to old questions concerning Eurasia on the cusp of European colonialism.
