Dwelling on this central theme, the essays in this book delve into a range of issues: the process of state formation in Mewat, the role of state in the socio-economic and religio-cultural transformation of the region's Meo community, the conflictual engagement between the peasant community and state in the late medieval period and the perception of kingship in folktales popular in the peasant society. The book chiefly argues that a nuanced understanding of how the medieval state impacted the peasants' lives can be better arrived at by looking into the subjectivities of their perceptions and experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Suraj Bhan Bhardwaj\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9352908864\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789352908868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Primus Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Suraj Bhan Bhardwaj","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48241723638015,"sku":"9789352908868","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_599c2684-c46e-4e3c-9562-007412401950.jpg?v=1772655633","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/state-and-peasant-society-in-suraj-bhan-bhardwaj-9789352908868","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
