Based on their approaches and findings, scholars have conceptualized and propagated various models of early and secondary state formation. Kingdom Formation in Precolonial India explores the possibility of an alternative model of kingdom formation by examining the precolonial history of the Koch Kingdom, which flourished in the Tista-Brahmaputra region between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. It provides new insights into the role of warfare in kingdom formation, centralization of political authority, surplus appropriation through unusual means, monetization of the economy, and the correlation between legitimization of the ruler and cultural change of the ruled. This book may be of interest to students, academicians, and scholars studying north-east India and north Bengal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.88 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 07, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47521387151581,"sku":"9789366278100","price":93.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/6cgc0AZZ4g9789366278100.webp?v=1772259580","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/kingdom-formation-in-precolonial-india-a-historical-study-on-the-formation-of-the-koch-kingdom-c-1540-1773-ce-hardcover","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
