Abstract
This essay, investigating India's history within the "global early modern"from 1500 to 1800, distinguishes between the "early modern"and the "global early modern."While the latter label is more inclusive, I conclude that changes visible in earlier periods were more radical, enabling India to participate meaningfully in the "global Middle Ages."India showed ambivalence in negotiating the "global early modern."
