Explorations in Connected History: Mughals and Franks

by Sanjay Subrahmanyam

This volume reflects on two and a half centuries of Mughal-European relations, beginning with the early sixteenth centruy and is based on extensive research into Portuguese, Dutch, English, French, and Persian materials of the period. It uses the idea of contained conflict to reject both the
view of total cultural incompatibility between East and West, and the simplistic paradigm of partnership and mutual understanding proposed by some recent scholars.
