Bhalla uses an extensive collection of illustrations to complement this apparent paradox, assessing three Indian empires - Hindu, Muslim and British. From the 3rd century BC through to the end of British colonialism, splendid and often deliberately ostentatious buildings glorified the contemporary social structures. Through comparisons and contrasts, from the mausolea and palaces of the Mughals to the government buildings and memorials provided by the British, this is a comprehensive and well-researched overview of a country whose architectural history gives important insights into the diversity of its rulers."--Publisher's website Architecture, British colonial India Architecture and society India Building India Architecture and society fast Architecture, British colonial fast Building fast Architektur (DE-588)4002851-3 gnd Baupolitik (DE-588)4134724-9 gnd Macht (DE-588)4036824-5 gnd Repräsentationsbau (DE-588)4278247-8 gnd Architecture and society India History Imperialism Monuments Social aspects India History Poverty India History India History India gtt India fast Britisch-Indien (DE-588)132398-2 gnd Mauryareich (DE-588)4379913-9 gnd Mogulreich (DE-588)4074930-7 gnd India Economic conditions India Social conditions History fast u AQ 4.c Early India idsbb FH BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 et SzZuIDS BS/BE IDSBB A310 A310 MAG MKB 2A 1530 NELA3101706 / Akz.:ba/mvkd/k IDSBB 100 1- Bhalla Ajit S. 1939- (DE-588)118170589 Verfasser aut IDSBB 490 0- International library of colonial history 19 19 SWISSBIB 428208169
