Table of ContentsReviews"""The slim monograph Mahasthan Record Revisited: Querying the Empire from a Regional Perspective is an excellent example of rigorous historical scholarship. Susmita Basu Majumdar takes a short inscription of which only six lines are available, critically analyses the different interpretations of it, and provides her own reading that differs on certain crucial terminological interpretations. Dismantling the record line by line, Majumdar demonstrates the need to contextualise sources keeping in mind the larger processes at play in a locality, a region, and at the trans-regional level. On the whole, this is a comprehensive coverage in terms of themes that have been picked up, and the manner in which they have been dealt with."" - Professor Mahalakshmi, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi ""A ground-breaking book reassessing history, epigraphy and numismatics; a new vision of Mahasthan-Pundranagara with regional and national perspectives."" - Professor Osmund Bopearachchi, Emeritus Director of the CNRS at the École Normale Supérieure and Adjunct Professor of Central and South Asian Art, Archaeology, and Numismatics, University of California, Berkeley" The slim monograph Mahasthan Record Revisited: Querying the Empire from a Regional Perspective is an excellent example of rigorous historical scholarship.
