Crash course of Indian history told from geographical angle. The most refreshing aspect of this short book is the fact that it's told by Indian not by Westerner as most Indian history narratives.

Among the many flavours that Indian history books come in - dry academic tomes; popular histories; comics, children's - those written for the young reader are not only the most difficult to get right, but unfortunately they have also been mostly neglected in India.

I say neglected because while there are a fair number of such books that can be spotted on the shelves in a bookstore, they mostly parrot discredited theories and perpetuate colonial myths. The better ones often dumb down history to t Among the many flavours that Indian history books come in - dry academic tomes; popular histories; comics, children's - those written for the young reader are not only the most difficult to get right, but unfortunately they have also been mostly neglected in India.

The better ones often dumb down history to the point of rendering it useless from both an educational and informational perspective. The Ice Age and the rise and fall in sea levels is also covered as a prelude to the main content in the book. This is important because it helps explain the commonalities in the culture between India and the Persians on the one hand, and certain geological phenomena that would appear incongruous otherwise — like the presence of marine fossils high up in the Himalayan Range.

It also helps drive the point that even geographies are ever-changing, albeit on a scale that is much, much slower than history. The meat of the book begins with the development of the largest and one of the oldest civilizations the world has known — the Indus Valley Harappan civilization.

It is this chapter that children may well find the most rewarding, as it gently guides the reader through the myriad aspects of not only the Harappans, but also wades into the Rig Veda, the Saraswati River, the controversies surrounding the two, and how the two are in turn intertwined with the Harappan Civilization, and therefore with the most pernicious of myths about Indian civilization — the Aryan Invasion myth.

The preponderance of evidence suggests that the Harappans and Rig Vedic Aryans are one and the same. With the Rig Veda possibly being composed as early as BCE, the Aryan Invasion myth has to be consigned to the dustbins of history — the sooner the better. The book proceeds through mostly a chronological level — covering the period of the the Mauryans, Guptas, the trade routes that existed during the times, splicing these topics with his personal interest in cartography and how the development of the art and science of maps itself aided in the exploration of undiscovered lands - with both good and not-so-good effect, the invasions from Central Asia to the entry of Europeans and the rise of the British Empire, and beyond.

I do believe the material on the Cholas and the South is a bit sparse. I personally would have preferred even more illustrations, in addition to the wonderful ones already there. Perhaps this book itself will spawn more editions, illustrated versions? It is time well-spent. Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of the book from the publisher. Aug 13, Sanjeev rated it it was ok. Do you remember the story where a student prepare an essay on cow, and when given Taj Mahal in exam, he brings cow and writes on it.

Delhi is Cow for this Author. This is the second book I read from First one being " Land of seven Rivers ". Most of the Indian Historians focus on North India.

Sanyal will focus on Old Delhi. It would be false if I say I learned nothing new from his writings, but his obsession with Delhi kind of started annoying. The missing Godavari river on the cover page and also on Land of seven rivers is making hard to not judge the books by their covers.

Dec 29, Indra rated it it was amazing. Fantastic birds-eye view of Indic history from neolithic to post-independence times. Hats off to the author. Jan 17, Deepu George rated it really liked it.

It is actually a short history of how India shaped itself in time As many who read this book has commented on it being Delhi centric and not talking about the history down south I think Mr. Sanyal was more concerned about the geography of the feeling that is India.

And peninsular India did not change much in history. Although I've said this still it would have been better if he had mentioned about the southern kingdoms also instead of talkin of them just as a passing comment,.
