Customer Reviews

An excellent survey of India history.

Ranbir Vohra has written an excellent survey of India's history, with an emphasis placed on the country's political development. In what is a masterful treatment of the subject matter, he provides an insightful context of the evolution of India, one of Asia's great civilizations, to that of China. In doing so, he underscores the importance of the socio-religious dimension of Indian life that has provided a central role for Hinduism in India's development. While being recommended for those looking at India for the first time, this book is strongly recommended for those of who have been in the field of South Asian or Asian studies as it provides a different way at looking at the subject matter. Moreover, the writing style is highly readable.
