| Abstract: | "Sudev Sheth presents the downfall of the Mughal Empire and the rise of its successor states as experienced directly by family entrepreneurs. Using hitherto untapped sources in multiple languages, he reveals how local persons and elites participated in the financial crisis that shook Indian society to its very foundations"-- |

| | By the 1660s, the mighty Mughal Empire controlled the Indian subcontinent and impressed the world with its strength and opulence. Yet hardly two decades would pass before fortunes would turn, Mughal kings and governors losing influence to rival warlords and foreign powers. How could leaders of one of the most dominant early modern polities lose their grip over empire? Sudev Sheth proposes a new point of departure, focusing on diverse local and hitherto unexplored evidence about a prominent financier family entrenched in bankrolling Mughal elites and their successors. Analyzing how four generations of the Jhaveri family of Gujarat financed politics, he offers a fresh take on the dissolution of the Mughal empire, the birth of princely successor states, and the nature of economic life in the days leading up to the colonial domination of India |
