E.J.Brill Publishers Hardback first edition mint in protected dw. The Rise of the Indo Afghan Empire deals with the magnificent world of Afghan nomads, horse dealers and mercenaries bridging the frontiers between the old metropolitan centres of India, Iran, and Central Asia. During the eighteenth century they succeeded in establishing a vigorous new system of Indo-Afghan States. In Central Asia, the Afghans created an imperial tradition on the basis of long standing Perso-Islamic ideals. In India, along the caravan routes with Turkistan and Tibet, they carved out thriving principalities in association with military service and the breeding and trade in war horses. By fully incorporating this ascendancy into the fabric of Islamic and world history the author challenges the widely held notion of a gloomy Afghan past. Gommans teaches Indian history at the University of Leiden. £95
