India has an amazing history, from some of the world’s earliest civilizations to its contemporary high-tech culture and a huge diversity of religions, arts, and people. This book takes you all the way from India’s prehistoric beginnings at Mohenjo-daro to the development of Buddhism and the Maurya Empire, the Hindu empires of the Middle Ages, the Mughals who brought Islam to the mix (and created the Taj Mahal), the British Raj, and finally the fight for independence and the modern yet ageless India of today. On the way, you’ll find out some fascinating facts about Indian culture, history, and historical figures. Here is just a glimpse of what you can discover in this book: How National Highway 1 goes all the way back to the Mauryan Empire! The importance of nonviolence in Indian culture How just 20,000 British officials ruled a population of millions How the illiterate emperor Akbar headed a huge revival of art and scholarship, mixing Hindu, Muslim, Jain, and even Christian influences Why only ten of the eleven Sikh gurus were actual people—and who the eleventh guru is How India exported Buddhism to the world India’s intense artistic heritage, from rock-cut temples and acutely observant Mughal miniatures to Anish Kapoor’s contemporary abstracts Why a Sikh maharaja ended up as an English landowner and friend of Queen Victoria How a film actress became Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu state How to escape jail in a basket of sweets And so much more!

Review: A Good Overview for Travelers to India - I read this book in its entirety on a flight to India for the first time. I wasn't willing to read the other 500-plus-page histories available. It is an overview, but it gave me good context for the historical sights I saw on my tour. I even read relevant passages from it aloud to members of my tour group, and they said they wished they had read the book before the tour. Review: India - I enjoyed reading a learning more about the History of India. It is easy to read and follow. I liked it. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,422,333 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #740 in India History #60,328 in Education & Teaching (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 98 Reviews | ## Images ![History of India: An Enthralling Overview of Significant Civilizations, Empires, Events, People, and Religion (Asia) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71mPK-mlaoL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Good Overview for Travelers to India *by C***S on March 8, 2025* I read this book in its entirety on a flight to India for the first time.
