The Making of Early Kashmir : Intercultural Networks and Identity Formation

This is the first full-length history of early Kashmir locating it beyond its regional context, from pre-history to the thirteenth century. Drawing on a variety of sources--including conventional archaeological and literary sources, as well as non-conventional sources like philology, toponym and surnames--it presents a connected history of early Kashmir over the longue duree. It challenges tendencies towards nationalist historiographies of the region by situating it in the context of the shared histories of humanity. The volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of history, archaeology, anthropology and South Asian studies.
