Timur invaded northern India in 1398 but returned to Samarkand a year later. In 1555 the Timurid emperor Humayun came back to India after being forced into exile in Persia and re-established Mughal rule in northern India. Between these two significant dates stretches an era largely consigned to oblivion - the 'long' fifteenth century. The Mughal dynasty has long occupied a pre-eminent position in research on Indian history. It has also been credited with ushering in a radically new age of innovation in art, literature and statecraft. But what of the period before the Mughals? With the empire-centred study of history privileging periods of political centralization, the multi-centred fifteenth century has remained relatively unexplored and undervalued. After Timur Left presents a path-breaking interdisciplinary set of writings on the politics, languages, religions, literatures and arts of the fifteenth century. Together they reveal it to be a period of considerable political and social mobility, of cultural connectivity and consolidation, of innovation in literature and language choices and of new forms of religious organization and expression. Key Features: Only available volume on north India in the long-neglected fifteenth century Provides a wide-coverage and discusses all socio-cultural aspects of 15th century north India: evolution of modern north Indian languages, religious vocabularies (including Bhakti) and political formations (including linguistic regions) Editors and contributors are renowned experts in the fieldISBN - 9780199450664
