Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Sword and the Crescent: The Arab Conquest of Sind is an authoritative exploration of one of the most transformative events in early medieval history. This meticulously researched work traces the Arab invasion of Sind, led by the young general Muhammad bin Qasim, as part of the Umayyad Caliphate's broader imperial expansion. Far more than a mere military conquest, this event catalyzed profound and lasting exchanges between the Arab world and the Indian subcontinent-shaping both regions' political, religious, and cultural landscapes for centuries.The book delves into the rich history of Sind before the invasion, under the rule of Raja Dahir, where a complex mix of Hindu, Buddhist, and local traditions flourished amidst vibrant trade networks. It then examines the geopolitical and religious motivations driving early Islamic expansion, situating the conquest of Sind within the larger context of the Umayyad Empire's strategic ambitions.What sets this study apart is its deep focus on the cultural, intellectual, and administrative transformations that followed the conquest. Through rigorous analysis, The Sword and the Crescent offers new insights into the fusion of ideas, governance models, and religious practices that emerged in Sind, ultimately influencing both Arab and Indian civilizations. This book is an indispensable resource for scholars and students of Islamic and South Asian history. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Socio-Cultural History of Medieval India offers a vivid exploration of the profound transformations that shaped Indian society from the 13th to the 18th century. This era witnessed a rich interplay of cultures, as successive empires, dynamic religious movements, and diverse cultural exchanges redefined ways of life and perceptions.The narrative begins with the Turkish Sultanate, where Islamic influences first permeated Indian governance, military traditions, and social structures, initiating a complex cultural blending. This evolution deepened under the Mughal Empire, which harmonized Persian aesthetics with Indian traditions. Akbar's vision of cultural integration, particularly through religion, fostered a sense of unity and creativity, reflected in art, architecture, and cuisine. His court became a hub for scholars and artists, inspiring innovation and tolerance.Religious ideals also underwent significant shifts, driven by figures like Kabir and Mirabai, who championed spirituality over ritualism and emphasized love, tolerance, and unity. The era's expanding trade networks and burgeoning urban centers further enriched societal complexity, facilitated by the Mughal centralizing state.This book provides readers with a nuanced understanding of medieval India's socio-cultural dynamics and their enduring legacy in contemporary Indian identity. It is an essential guide to appreciating the rich, diverse history underpinning India's cultural heritage. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Add to basketTaschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -'La caída de Sind a la Media Luna: Un punto de inflexión en la historia de Asia Meridional'Este libro examina la conquista árabe de Sind, dirigida por Muhammad bin Qasim, que tuvo un profundo impacto en el sur de Asia y el mundo árabe. Más que una simple victoria militar, inició intercambios culturales, religiosos y políticos duraderos.Antes de la invasión, Sind, bajo el Rajá Dahir, era una región diversa con tradiciones hindúes, budistas y locales. Sin embargo, su fragmentación política la hacía vulnerable al califato omeya en expansión. La conquista árabe, impulsada por motivos religiosos y estratégicos, abrió rutas comerciales vitales e introdujo el Islam en la región, creando un nuevo orden político y religioso. Esta obra explora no sólo los aspectos militares, sino también las transformaciones culturales que moldearon ambas regiones durante siglos.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Spanisch.
