My first book concerns state formation and regional culture in North India during the eighteenth century, after the Mughal Empire fell apart and before British hegemony was extended to inland areas. My edited book assesses scholarship on 18th-century India, with interdisciplinary perspectives. My next monograph is on Indo-Muslim civilization in Hyderabad during c. 1750-1803, the era of regional autonomy, increasing pressure from the British, and early inroads of the world economy.
