A Political History of Literature
Multilinguality gained a new impetus in North India with the influx of West Asian Muslim communities around the thirteenth century.

This volume encompasses an intimate linguistic, literary, and historical study of three of Vidyapati’s major works: a Sanskrit treatise on writing (Likhanāvalī); a celebratory biography in Apabhraṃśa (Kīrttilatā); and a collection of mythohistorical tales in Sanskrit (Puruṣaparīkṣā )....

India–Bangladesh Border Disputes
This book discusses history of mental construction of the border between India and Bangladesh. It investigates how and when a border was constructed between the people, and discusses how the mental construction preceded the physical construction. It also examines the perils faced by those forced to leave their homes as a result of the partition of India in 1947.

The situation becomes more complex near borders that were previously open to the movement of people. On...
