[INDOLOGY] ANN: New Book: Reframing India in World History

[Tyler Williams]

Congratulations! One question of clarification: the table of contents of
your book suggests that you characterize Islamicate societies and
polities in South Asia as "colonialism" ("early colonial and colonial
regimes of India" preceding "European colonization"). This argument would,
of course, be empirically incorrect, theoretically untenable, and
politically an encouragement for the further vilification of present-day
South Asian Muslims (the characterization of them as "Babar ke aulād,"
children of Babur, descendants of colonial masters, and so forth).

Certainly I must be mistaken, and this is not what you wish to suggest?

Regards,
Tyler Williams
