Well Done

This author cruises through five millennia of India's history with verve, humor, and a sharp eye for the details that help bring distant ages to life. I especially like the way he pulls the curtain back on the historical record to discuss the modern feats of discovery, scholarship, and brain-busting translation that made our current knowledge of India's past possible.

Well Written

This book is well put-together structurally. It covers the relevant periods in sufficient depth and breadth. However, I found some of the theories of ancient India seemed to contradict recent evidence. Also, the author has a too-strong editorial voice. I felt there was too much disrespect towards the ancient civilizations and their holy books.

Amazing! Short but comprehensive at the same time

Very well written and narrated. I listened to it start to end in just 3 streches. It was captivating.
The only qualm I have about it is not recognizing any of the other freedom fighters than Nehru and Gandhi from Congress. there was a significant arms movement which happened in parralel to Nehru/Gandhi and was equally important to gain India Independence

Five Stars

I am currently undertaking my last year of schooling and this thorough, historical text is an immense help. It is so helpful in providing Modern History students with the background and fine details of India through the years and is a fascinating read!!

Nice History

This is yet another well researched, eminently readable book by Captivating History. Certainly, there are persons, events, cultural trends, which are omitted, but I fail to see how this could be avoided in a one-volume survey. I found it fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable.

History Of India

This book is grand in its scope, & brings forth wonderfully argued cases towards what is an Indian experience from a socio-politico-economic perspective. I highly recommend this book.

India's Great History

I enjoyed this historical accounts of ancient and modern India and the various individuals and times that shaped it destiny.

Muhammad Gandhi was interesting part since I only knew his role as a moral spiritual leader but never anything about his early life and sacrifices.
That was great. Also, Britain's role as a trade nation and later as an empire imposing its influence on India.

I also see how Pakistan and India came into being seeing that Hinduism and Muslim religions could not coexist within the same region. This was well the money and time for this audiobook.

Great Summary History of India

The subtitle of this book is spot on. This is a captivating guide to begin an exploration into the history of ancient, Greek-era, medieval, British Raj, modern India, and more. This is a summary history, not a scholarly history, of the eras examined and inspires a deeper inquiry into any or all of those areas of study. The writing is clear and concise, focusing on characters and events crucial to each period. I enjoyed the narrator's voice, style and tone. Recommended as a summary guide to the history of India.

Interesting History

This is an excellent book, and the only reason I will focus on the minor quibbles is that I cannot add any more to the positive praise this book. I am totally agreed with the author.

Good Listening

A well-reasoned depth to handle a subject so broad and so diverse. Any discussion of today's India must access it's diverse and complex past
