Book Description:

The book charts the social, economic, and political history of Mewat from the 13th to the early 18th centuries. Denting the conventional image of communities in medieval India as self-sufficient, changeless, and autonomous entities, it takes up the case of Meo community of Mewat to argue that communities have regularly undergone profound socio-economic changes.
