A European Experience of the Mughal Orient

The Ijaz-I Arsalani (Persian Letters, 1773-1779) of Antoine-Louis Henri Polier

Muzaffar Alam, Seema Alavi


This book offers a much-needed alternative perspective (coming from Persian sources) on European constructions of India. It throws significant light on Indo-Persian culture and on the complex interaction between Europeans and Indians in the eighteenth century.
