The Vijayanagara rajas ruled a substantial part of the southern peninsula of India for over three hundred years, beginning in the mid-fourteenth century, and during this epoch the region was transformed from its medieval past towards a modern colonial future. Concentrating on the later sixteenth- and seventeenth-century history of Vijayanagara, Burton Stein details the pattern of rule established in this important and long-lived Hindu kingdom, which was followed by other, often smaller, kingdoms of peninsular India until the onset of colonialism. Through an analysis of the politics, society and economy, Stein addresses the central question of the extent to which Vijayanagara, as a medieval Hindu kingdom, can be viewed as a prototype of the polities and societies confronted by the British in the late eighteenth century. This work thus presents an understanding of one of the great medieval kingdoms of India, and a more general assessment of the nature of the state, society and culture on the eve of European colonial rule.

Histoire du présent. Ethnologie du passé. Des royautés guerrières à l’État moderne, en passant par la période coloniale, le cas indien oblige à remettre en question les typologies actuellement proposées des formes d’organisation du politique. Il n’y a pas ici, où la modernité s’affirme dans la référence toujours vivante à une Antiquité, plus de centralité royale que de hiérarchie ecclésiale. Les monographies locales ou régionales livrent une diversité de formules qui témoigne de la plasticité morphologique du jeu des principes de la caste et de la parenté, jusqu’à l’Union indienne, toujours marquée par le fractionnement de l’autorité et la superposition de différents droits sur le sol. Si c’est bien une différenciation des points de vue que toute hiérarchisation sociale engendre, c’est dans des processus d’interdépendance, et non dans une fonction d’unification, que le politique fonde sa légitimité.
