4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, November 4, 2005
By "KB" Kamla Srinivasan (SF Bay Area and India) - See all my reviews
This was the prescribed text book for history majors in my college in India. I am not sure how much editing and changes have been made in this version, but the book that we read was pretty well written, and provided a lucid account. Sometimes, it is important to read a basic book to get the big old picture. It is another matter that the interpretation of some of the events may have come under critiicism by later historians, who subscribed to various schools of thoughts, most notably a Marxist interpretation of Indian history.

The book provides a good chronological history of India.
