The town is as it was before, just devoid of the warmth that made it worthy of that term. A collection of buildings, roads laid like a carpet for a queen that will never come. Banners hang with slogans to be read-only by the dust-laden wind. The market is all set up like it awaits the stallholders at any moment. The only sound is the blackbird that cries as if it can bring back the people who left tasty scraps if only it calls loud enough. Against the wall of the old courthouse is a bicycle, the chain dangling on the sidewalk. Ahead is the clock tower, forever stuck at half past noon. If you stand still enough perhaps time is indeed frozen, perhaps it is just your bones that don't realize it. Or perhaps it's the cursed town. Such is Woodfort, an Indian town abandoned after the British reign. But make no mistake time has flourished here also. But what happens when a man who lusts war crosses path with a man who knows the grim sobriety that comes with war. Well dive on… learn how to fall.

State, Power and Legitimacy: The Gupta Kingdom presents a comprehensive account of the Gupta state, with particular emphasis on its strategies of legitimizing its power. The political strategies that characterized this crucial juncture of early Indian history, termed 'threshold times' by Romila Thapar, employed certain features of ancient Indian polity even as new political mechanisms were emerging. This volume argues that this unique combination of political strategizing was a part of the process of legitimizing royal authority, in which religion, literature and art were essential tools. The volume also includes a large selection of prepublished essays which provide the reader with a comprehensive idea of how the Gupta state has been studied by earlier historians together with recent articles which help us to look at the Gupta state and the manner in which it exercised and legitimized its power. A substantive introduction suggests the need to move beyond the nationalist perspective that views the rule of the Guptas as the 'Golden Age' or the Marxist model of 'Indian feudalism'.
