Whitney Cox presents a fundamental re-imagining of the politics of pre-modern India through a revisionist reading of the Chola dynasty, a medieval South Asian superpower. Utilizing a series of textual sources, this innovative study poses comparative and conceptual questions about politics, history, agency and representation in the pre-modern world.
