Land Grants in Early Medieval North India: A Socio-Economic Analysis is an attempt to make a thorough study to fill in the gaps of the previous studies into land grants where primary sources were less revoked. It discusses the Early Medieval Northern Indian Socio-Economic formation which was marked by a grossly unequal distribution of land rights. It also deals with the historical background of the land grants, which provides an insight into the events that led to Early Medieval North Indian social and economic crises. It throws the light on the peasantry as reflected in the land grant charters of the Early Medieval Northern India. It also throws some fresh light on the economic and social aspects of feudalism.
