  The Hindu : Early Indian trade
THE ECONOMIC history of the Indian sub-continent was initially focused on the study of agrarian conditions, land ownership and revenue.
But in recent decades, thanks to the significant archaeological discoveries (of ports, coins and trade artefacts) and mercantile activities found in the inscriptions, interesting evidence has emerged on the aspects relating to trading activities and their impact on the economy.
This volume is a collection of 15 essays by scholars, specialising in the studies relating to significance of trade in the social, political, economic and cultural development of the sub-continent from the third millennium B.C. to about 1300 A.D. In his introduction, the editor provides an insightful overview of the historiography of early Indian trade.
