More About This Textbook

Overview

"A History of India presents the grand sweep of Indian history from antiquity to the present in a compact and readable survey. The authors examine the major political, economic, social and cultural forces which have shaped the history of the subcontinent. Providing an authoritative and detailed account, Hermann Kulke and Dietmar Rothermund emphasise and analyse the structural pattern of Indian history." Revised throughout, the fourth edition of this highly accessible book brings the history of India up to date to consider, for example, the recent developments in the Kashmir conflict. Along with a new glossary, this new edition also includes an expanded discussion of the Mughal empire as well as of the economic history of India.

Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
From Barnes & Noble
India's history is one of an astonishing cultural continuity that has reasserted itself time and again in spite of foreign conquest and Western domination. From the early cultures of the Indus to the glittering power of the Mughal Empire, the extraordinary epic that is India unfolds in the pages of this unusual history. Choosing to tell the story from the structural patterns of Indian civilization rather than from a chronology of events, the authors, both acknowledged scholars in different areas of the country's rich history, present a tapestry of political, economic, social, and cultural factors. Here is the grand sweep of culture, from the early settlements of the Gangetic Valley to the regional kingdoms of medieval India to the rule of the Raj. Colorful and exciting, this survey incorporates recent research to tell the lively story of a country that has emerged as one of the most important nations of the world.
