Age of Entanglement: German and Indian Intellectuals Across Empire

Age of Entanglement, which won the 2019 Merck-Tagore Award, explores unexpected patterns of connection linking Germany and South Asia in the age of Empire.  The book recasts modern intellectual history in terms of knotted itineraries of seeming strangers across colonial frontiers.
