Hardcover. Zustand: New. The 18th Century Indian politics were gunpowder military states ruled by the feudal elites which replaced the Mughal nobility in many parts of the Indian sub-continent. The Maratha state with imperial ambitions was also essentially a military organization supported by its civil administrative apparatus. It is no secret that the military and civil aspects of the Maratha state in the 17th and 18th Century were two sides of the same coin; military force underpinned the collection of revenue and the capacity for revenue collection shored up the military strength of the Maratha state. Since every state is an organic unit, even a cursory examination of its character demands an inquiry into the nature of its component parts. S.N. Sen researched both the component parts of the Maratha state, military and civil, to produce his famous classic works. This was never an easy task given the paucity of theoretical and philosophical material on their military craft left behind by the Marathas. The Marathi Bakhars, for instance, are descriptions of events and processes which tell us precious little about the strategic thinking of the Maratha commanders. The Marathas did not develop military institutions like those developed by European rulers like Fredrick of Prussia during the 18th Century even though they modernised their armies with the aid of European expertise after the disaster at Panipat (1761). The sources consciously produced by the military institutions in some countries during the early modern period of European history are qualitatively different from the military literature produced by the Indian politics of the 18th Century. These handicaps did not deter Sen who wrote a fine history of the military system of the Marathas several tenets of which have stood the test of time. Besides Marathi records, the Sen went through contemporary English, Portuguese, French and Dutch records to write a masterly account of the Maratha military system with its strengths and weaknesses. The Military System of the Marathas retains a premier position in Maratha historiography despite the numerous valuable advances made in the subject since it was published for the first time.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. The enormous documentary evidence generated by Maratha rule over a vast area in 17th and 18th Century India suggests that the Maratha empire was a well-organized effective pre-colonial polity. The Marathas were not mere marauders as the colonialist historians described them. By the latter half of the 18th Century these warriors from the Deccan had stabilized their system of revenue collection and laid down the basis of a long-lasting administrative apparatus elements of which were later absorbed into the colonial administrative system established by the British. The institutions, rules and regulations which characterized Maratha rule were drawn largely from the medieval kingdoms upon the remnants of which they erected their administrative edifice. Several questions can be raised by the inquisitive historian and students of history in relation to the administrative system of the Maratha discussed in admirable detail in this classic work on Maratha history. Was the Maratha polity a pre-modern system with the potential to evolve into a modern state? What were the successes and failures of the system established first by Shivaji and later the Peshwas and the Maratha sardars? Sen lists the causes of the rise and fall of the so-called Maratha confederacy in this book which must be read by all contemporary students and teachers of Maratha history across the world. Decades ago, when Indian history was in thrall of colonial historiography, Sen made a compelling case for understanding the Maratha polity as a synthesis of various Indian systems which informed its dynamics. The vocabulary of Sen is nationalist but there is much to read between the lines in this splendid work of modern Indian historiography. Anirudh Deshpande, Professor of History, University of Delhi.
