Contemporary scholars carrying out research on pre­modern India are readily conscious of the elusive nature of South Asian historiography. For at least two decades they have been seeking for some adequate methodologies to proceed with the reconstructions of that still unexplored world. This quest concerns predominantly the literary sources as previously they had been treated for long with no major attempts to use them as fit for holistic social or historico­political reconstructions. The book of Daud Ali, Courtly Culture and Political Life in Early Medieval India is a courageous and one of the first comprehensive propositions to exploit the literature with the hope it could serve the important purpose to represent the social history of a part of the pre­colonial world.

Courtly Culture and Political Life in Early Medieval India. By Daud Ali. Delhi: Cambridge University Press, 2006. xx + 296 pp. $ 30.00 (hardcover)
