In 1981 Harbans Mukhia's essay, 'Was There Feudalism in Indian History?' was published in The Journal of Peasant Studies, which triggered off an international debate of the problem in the journal's special issues in 1985 and some subsequent issues. Among the central questions was the tension between Marxist conception of capitalism as the first world system and several Marxist historians' construction of feudalism as a universal category. This volume contains 11 essays discussing these issues.
