Beskrivning
Shivaji was a 17th-century hero in western India, where his legend is well known and an important part of Hindu nationalist ideology. His legend expresses deeply held convictions about what Hinduism is, and how it is opposed to Islam. James Laine traces the origin and development of the Shivaji legend, examining its meaning for those who have composed and read it, and paints a complex picture of the past four centuries of Hindu-Muslim relations.

Recensioner i media
In writing this concise and eminently readable account, Laine has eminently succeeded in his goal of rescuing Shivaji's biography from the grasp of those who see India as a Hindu nation ever at war with its Muslim citizens and neighbours. This book is highly recommended for students of medieval and contemporary South Asia.
