Very well written

Very well written and covers so much of India's history in a succinct manner. Would recommend reading this by anyone who is interested in the history of that country.

Excellent

This is an excellent historian, and he thoroughly covers the story of India in this epic book. True to his style, he emphasizes ancient times and prehistory, with a rather less-detailed glance at the modern era.

Good One

If you need a Roadmap to start to figure out the history of the Indian subcontinent. Go no further

Outstanding

This is an outstanding general history of India and is strongly recommended. The narrative is very well written and organized, making it a very useful broad discussion of Indian history. I had read a similar general history of India 15 years ago and this book is far better written and includes much recent scholarship.

Impressive

The book was as it was described, and I am currently using it for one of my history courses.

A Good Detailed Book

Well detailed book on the history of India. Lots of detail and goes from the very beginning to modern times. Not a book to read overnight or for the casual tourist but great book for those who real students of this countries' history.

Good

Conflicting and ironical conclusions in the first few chapters... but, other than that, the book reads nicely.

So Good

My son is quite the history buff and really enjoys reading all history. He wanted this book to truly understand India's history. He thoroughly enjoyed it!

Good One

There a few minor challenges to the book, in particular its introduction to the European presence in India is weak but it eventually recovers the narrative as the British presence becomes a real factor in India.
