Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Shivaji was a 17th-century hero in western India, where his legend is well known and an important part of Hindu nationalist ideology. His legend expresses deeply held convictions about what Hinduism is, and how it is opposed to Islam. James Laine traces the origin and development of the Shivaji legend, examining its meaning for those who have composed and read it, and paints a complex picture of the past four centuries of Hindu-Muslim relations.
MoreLong description:
Shivaji was a 17th-century hero in western India, where his legend is well known and an important part of Hindu nationalist ideology. His legend expresses deeply held convictions about what Hinduism is, and how it is opposed to Islam. James Laine traces the origin and development of the Shivaji legend, examining its meaning for those who have composed and read it, and paints a complex picture of the past four centuries of Hindu-Muslim relations.
In writing this concise and eminently readable account, Laine has eminently succeeded in his goal of rescuing Shivaji's biography from the grasp of those who see India as a Hindu nation ever at war with its Muslim citizens and neighbours. This book is highly recommended for students of medieval and contemporary South Asia.
