This volume examines a compelling historical episode: the establishment of Balinese Hindu rule over a predominantly Muslim population during the period 1700–1748. The sources pertaining to this era are re-evaluated, and additional insights are offered regarding the events of the time, situated within a broader regional framework. Particular attention is devoted to the interplay of ethnic and religious relations, as well as to the cultural foundations underpinning the legitimacy of political authority. Of special significance is the broader question of how a Hindu minority succeeded in governing a Muslim majority, and the eventual consequences of this arrangement. The deterioration of interethnic relations in one part of the island culminated in a rebellion in 1891, thereby facilitating Dutch colonial conquest in 1894. The disruptions introduced by the arrival of the Dutch East India Company in the late seventeenth century had already contributed to the conditions that shaped these developments. A comparative example of Hindu rulers exercising authority over a predominantly Muslim population may also be observed in Kashmir.
