About This Book

The author traces the subcontinent's story from prehistoric and Vedic times through epic-age literature and early empires, describing the emergence of major dynasties, administrative and religious developments, and contacts with Hellenic and Central Asian powers. Chapters recount the rise and reforming rule of imperial houses, periods of political fragmentation and foreign invasions, and the flowering of art and learning under a classical era. The later narrative follows medieval conquests, the establishment and decline of Sultanates, Timur's devastation, and the rise of Mughal rule with its cultural achievements and courtly life, closing with the growing presence of European traders and the early interactions that presage colonial domination.
