For this section I am greatly indebted to discussions with Frank Perlin and to his work on and expert knowledge of the rich Marāṭhī material on seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Western India. This does not necessarily mean that he concurs with my views. Cf. his “Of White Whale and Countrymen in the eighteenth-century Maratha Deccan,” \*Journal of Peasant Studies\* 5, no. 2 (1978): 172–237; and “To Identify Change in an Old Regime Polity,” in \*Asie du Sud: Traditions et Changements\*, ed. M. Gaborieau and A. Thorner (Sixth European Conference on Modern South Asian Studies, Paris, July 1978). - [Previous: c19.s13.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.heesterman-1985.c19.s13.5) - [Next: c19.s13.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.heesterman-1985.c19.s13.7) - [Up: c19.s13](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.heesterman-1985.c19.s13) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.heesterman-1985.c19.s13.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.heesterman-1985.c19.s13.6) · Pramāṇa
