Dynamics and Fluidity of Urbanity

Exploring South Asian Urbanity edited by Urvi Mukhopadhyay and Suchandra Ghosh comprising fifteen essays explores the idea of urbanity in history. Divided into five themes, viz., the concept, urban spaces, textual representations, evolution of cities and urban violence, the essays draw upon a range of sources that include archaeological material, narrative art, literature, inscriptions, and archival documents to understand urbanity through the spectrum of heterogeneity, inequalities, and class conflicts in the geographical context of South Asia.
