The spectacular rise in world trade following the great discoveries of the closing years of the fifteenth century had important implications for each of the major segments of the newly emerging early modern international economy. As far as Asia was concerned, the commercial operations of the European corporate enterprises as well as private traders in the Indian Ocean region between the sixteenth and the eighteenth centuries had far reaching consequences for the economies and the polities of the countries of the region.Asian merchants engaged in the Indian Ocean trade interacted with the European intruders into the Ocean in a variety of ways. The twenty-one essays included in this volume are firmly embedded in original archival sources. They deal mainly with issues arising out of the Europeans' commercial presence in the Indian Ocean region and the interaction they had with their Asian counterparts. This volume discusses how, over a span of three centuries, the Indian economy was integrated into the world economy as a result of these interactions. The macroeconomic implications of the European encounter for the Indian economy are analysed in detail. Another important area explored at some length is the monetary history of the subcontinent in the early modern period.This collection of essays will be of interest to the historians of India, and of the Indian Ocean alike. It will also have a great deal of appeal for the historians of early modern Asia, as well as Europe. Those interested in what is being increasingly described as world history will also find the volume useful.

गायन वादन एवं नृत्य इन तीनों कलाओं के समावेश को संगीतज्ञों ने संगीत कहा है। संगीत एक ललित कला है। जिसे अन्य ललित कलाओं में सर्वश्रेष्ठ स्थान प्राप्त है। संगीत मन के भावों को प्रकट करने का सबसे अच्छा साधन माना जाता है। संगीत कला मुख्य रूप से प्रयोगात्मक कला है। जिसका उद्देश्य मन के भावों को बड़ी सहजता और मधुर ढंग से परिमार्जित कर उसका उसकी अन्तरात्मा से साक्षात्कार कराना है। आदिकाल से ही संगीत मनुष्य से जुड़ा रहा है। वैदिक काल तक आते-आते यह मानव जीवन को ईश्वर से मिलाने का सशक्त माध्यम बना, सारे वैदिक मन्त्र और ऋचाएं सस्वर उच्चारित होती थी, इसका प्रमाण हमारे चारों वेदों में से एक वेद सामवेद से प्राप्त होता है जिसकी प्रत्येक ऋचा और मन्त्र गेय है। धीरे-धीरे समय के परिवर्तन के साथ संगीत में भी परिवर्तन होता गया। मार्गी और देसी संगीत के अन्तर्गत गायन होने लगा, मार्गी संगीत वह संगीत था जिसका सम्बन्ध मोक्ष प्राप्ति से था तथा जो मुख्यतः भक्ति प्रधान होता था, देसी संगीत वह संगीत था जो जन रूचि के अनुकूल गाया जाता था। इसके बाद सामगान प्रचलन में आया तथा सामगान से जातिगान की उत्पत्ति हुई, जाती गान के दस लक्षण कहे गये है। इसके पश्चात जातिगान से राग की उत्पत्ति हुई, राग के भी दस लक्षण माने गए है और नो विभिन्न जातियां मानी गई है। हिन्दुस्तानी शास्त्रीय संगीत में राग का महत्वपूर्ण स्थान है। सम्पूर्ण शास्त्रीय संगीत की इमारत इसी राग रूपी नींव पर खड़ी है। प्रायः कई रागों में कुछ स्वर कम प्रयोग होते है तथा कुछ अधिक प्रयोग किये जाते है। किन्तु कुछ स्वर ऐसे भी होते है जो राग में पूर्ण रूप से वर्जित होते है। यह वर्जित स्वर आरोह तथा अवरोह दोनों में हो सकते है। षडज को छोड़कर राग में सभी स्वर वर्जित हो सकते है।

The history of the economic contacts between Asia and Europe dates back to at least the early years of the Common Era. But it was only after the overcoming of the transport technology barrier to the growth of trade between the two continents following the discovery by the Portuguese at the end of the 15th century of the all-water route to the East Indies that these contacts became regular and quantitatively significant. The Portuguese were joined at the beginning of the 17th century by the Dutch and the English East India companies. The Europeans operated in the Indian Ocean alongside the Indian and other Asian merchants with no special privileges being available to them. The present collection of essays by Professor Om Prakash first deals with the Indian merchants’ participation in the Indian Ocean trade on the eve of the Europeans’ arrival in the Ocean. The subsequent essays include a discussion of the Portuguese involvement in the Euro-Asian and the Indian Ocean trade. Attention is then turned to the trading activities of the Dutch and the English East India companies. The volume also contains essays on textile manufacturing and trade as well as on coinage and wages in India. The concluding essay deals with trade and politics in the province of Bengal.

Om Prakash reveals the central role played by Bengal in the Dutch East India Company's activities in India in the seventeenth and the early eighteenth century and the resulting integration of India into the world economy. Originally published in 1985. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

European traders first appeared in India at the end of the fifteenth century and began exporting goods to Europe as well as to other parts of Asia. In a detailed analysis of the trading operations of European corporate enterprises such as the English and Dutch East India Companies, as well as those of private European traders, this book considers how, over a span of three centuries, the Indian economy expanded and was integrated into the pre-modern world economy as a result of these interactions. The book also describes how this essentially market-determined commercial encounter changed in the latter half of the eighteenth century as the colonial relationship between Britain and the subcontinent was established. By bringing together and examining the existing literature, the author provides a fascinating overview of the impact of European trade on the pre-modern Indian economy which will be of value to students of Indian, European and colonial history.
