Interaction with religions was one of the most demanding tasks for imperial leaders. Religions could be the glue that held an empire together, bolstering the legitimacy of individual rulers and of the imperial enterprise as a whole. Yet, they could also challenge this legitimacy and jeopardize an empire's cohesiveness. As empires by definition ruled heterogeneous populations, they had to interact with a variety of religious cults, creeds, and establishments. These interactions moved from accommodation and toleration, to cooptation, control, or suppression; from aligning with a single religion to celebrating religious diversity or even inventing a new transcendent civic religion; and from lavish patronage to indifference. The volume's contributors investigate these dynamics in major Eurasian empires--from those that functioned in a relatively tolerant religious landscape (Ashokan India, early China, Hellenistic, and Roman empires) to those that allied with a single proselytizing or non-proselytizing creed (Sassanian Iran, Christian and Islamic empires), to those that tried to accommodate different creeds through "pay for pray" policies (Tang China, the Mongols), exploring the advantages and disadvantages of each of these choices.
Carrying on the living tradition of mystic minstrels, the Bauls roam the countryside of eastern India enacting the spiritual love dalliance of Radha and Krishna through songs and dances. The Path of the Mystic Lover explores the Bauls' lifestyle and philosophy, describing their sexual and ritual practices as well as their sacred teachings.
The first part of the long-awaited fourth volume of André Wink’s monumental Al-Hind: The Making of the Indo-Islamic World introduces a new perspective on the rise of the dynasty of the Great Mughals and the transition of the Indo-Islamic world from the medieval to the early modern centuries. Eschewing the conventional military and technological explanations, the book adopts an institutional explanation that emphasizes the Central and Inner Asian post-nomadic heritage of the dynasty and, in the context of persistent rivalry with the Indo-Afghans, its successful politics of incorporation and accommodation of Muslim and non-Muslim constituencies alike.

Kabeer in Korporates addresses the trials and tussles of the workplace faced by the modern day employee, using Kabeer as the deep font of practical wisdom that balances philosophy with action, theory with practice. It puts into perspective the multiple conundrums of working life: o the balance between success and joy o the tension between methods and results o the impasse between choosing the right coach and being the right coach o decrypting the enigma called leadership. It defines with compassionate wisdom the fine line between dealing with things and dealing with the self. Kabeer In Korporates demystifies the angst and challenges of modern employees, providing lessons, insights and solutions to problems using the wisdom of Kabeer in four ways: o by questioning the individual before he is allowed to question the world around him o asking pertinent questions rather than offering pat solutions o by being simple and matter-of-fact and not hiding behind theories and constructs. o by outlining dilemmas and providing insights on dealing with them. Kabeer is a willing ally; he teaches you the art of untangling the knots till you can breathe and live your own life – fully.
