Modern Indian Literature - Poems and Short Stories [MOBI]

"Spanning some twenty-five years of research and writing, the essays in this volume broadly fall into two categories historiography and Indo-Islamic civilization. Historically, the long encounter between Islamic and Indic civilizations stirred remarkably creative energies among peoples of the subcontinent, producing one of the most vital centres of Islamic culture in the world. How did this happen? And why did the number of Muslims come to dominate in some parts of South Asia but not in other? These essays propose answers to these important questions." [Amazon]
