Early modern India - a period extending from the fifteenth to the late eighteenth century - saw dramatic cultural, religious, and political changes as it went from Sultanate to Mughal to early colonial rule. This text brings together recent scholarship on the languages, literatures, and religious traditions of northern India. It focuses on the rise of vernacular languages as vehicles for literary expression and historical and religious self-assertion, and particularly attends to ways in which these regional spoken languages connect with each other and their cosmopolitan counterparts.
