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?
