New book by Rishad Choudhury. It presents a new history of imperial connections across the Indian Ocean from 1739 to 1857, a period that witnessed the decline and collapse of Mughal rule and the consolidation of British colonialism in South Asia.
Very much looking forward to Rishad Choudhury's forthcoming book "Hajj across Empires Pilgrimage and Political Culture after the Mughals, 1739–1857 (

) on how "the hajj pilgrimage significantly transformed Muslim political culture and colonial attitudes towards it."
