Book Synopsis

This book examines slavery in India from the Turkish conquest of North India to the centuries of Mughal rule. It focuses on the northern Islamic regimesâ treatment of slavery but not limited or determined by the actions and demands of the ruling class alone. Societies normalized the practices, and the norms were socially constituted, which included slavesâ acceptance, resistance, and use of agency in the process. It shows how the transformations on the ground made the social-economic and ethical environment of slavery no longer the same over the centuries and the expansion or contraction of slavery corresponded to the structural changes and ethical developments specific to the Indian milieu.

The volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of South Asian studies, history and slavery.
