Kings, Company and Communities: Andhra-Telangana in Eighteenth-Century India is the first book of its kind as it analyses the social, economic, and political formations of the Andhra-Telangana region at a crucial juncture where they were put to the test by the manifestations of colonial rule. Capturing the vibrancy of the regional economy and the process of ‘rurbanization’, Sridhar investigates the manner in which local potentates negotiated with captains of colonialism and their native agents. As the region also witnessed the reassertion of caste identities during this period, this book maps the changes in varna perceptions with the aid of previously unexplored sources.
