About this document
Indian Feudalism: Mukhia vs. Chattopadhyay by rk74983550 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes the views of historians Harbans Mukhia and B. D. Chattopadhyay on the concept of feudalism in India. Mukhia criticizes the application of the European feudalism model to India, noting key differences like peasant independence and an absence of serfdom. Chattopadhyay also questions historians equating "feudal polity" with political fragmentation. While not rejecting land grants, he argues the genesis of feudalism in India was more complex than decentralization of a unitary state. Bot
