{"product_id":"9780198077411","title":"The Crisis of Empire in Mughal North India Awadh and Punjab, 1707-48 Second Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe period following the death of Aurangzeb has been viewed as the beginning of the decline and decay of the Mughal empire. Examining two contrasting regions of north India-Awadh and Punjab-this pioneering work shows how the period 1707-48 saw the emergence of a new order with local and regional idioms. Muzaffar Alam focuses on the interplay of imperial collapse with regional restructuring. He contends that even as the empire declined, there emerged a new, regionally-based political order, maintained and controlled by former Mughal rulers. From agrarian uprisings to the jagirdari system, the Sikhs to the Zamindars, this book presents a bold new interpretation of an important transition in this period. This edition comes with a new introduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is an important reading for students, scholars, and teachers of Mughal history and early modern India.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47065243844848,"sku":"9780198077411","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780198077411_p0.jpg?v=1763665721","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780198077411","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
