Dear Friends, I wanted to let you know, on behalf of its accomplished editor Manu Devadevan, about a book that has recently been published called Clio and Her Descendents: Essays in Honor of Kesavan Veluthat. It is a Festschrift for the incomparable historian of early South India, Kesavan Veluthat. The book is a mammoth and I draw your attention to it because it includes so many extraordinary essays on a vast range of topics in the history of premodern and early modern South Asia  (not restricted to the south by any means); made up of new and original work by so many star historians, philologists, and literary scholars, as well as even the occasional udbāhur vāmanaḥ (such as the present emailer).Thanks, भवदीयः,J
