Much of world history is Indian history. Home today to one in four people, the subcontinent has long been densely populated and deeply connected to Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas through migration and trade. In this magisterial history, Audrey Truschke tells the fascinating story of the region historically known as India--which includes today's India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and parts of Afghanistan—and the people who have lived there.

In 1707, the last effective Mughal Emperor, Aurangzeb, died in Maharashtra, a frustrated man. Even after nearly twenty-two years of war, he failed to conquer the Marathas. With his death began the fall of the Mughal Empire that was to be replaced by the Marathas in Central India and parts of North India. In the early nineteenth century the British took over India not from the Mughals but from the Marathas. Under Shivaji the Great, with the heady aim of Hindavi Swarajya (Indian Self-Rule), the British saw the Marathas as the principal threat to their colonial project. The story of Maratha ...

El nombre Gandhi destaca sobre todos los demás en el panorama político de la India por muy buenas razones. El “alma” de la India moderna –Mahatma Gandhi– llevaba ese apellido; La primera y única primera ministra o jefa de Estado de la India, Indira Gandhi, se casó con ese nombre; y Rajiv Gandhi entró a regañadientes en la política y se convirtió en Primer Ministro de la India como un Gandhi. Dejaron legados positivos, pero fueron asesinados por extremistas con agendas exclusivas y retorcidas. Y resultó que sus muertes contribuyeron al avance de la humanidad. ¿Qué tenían ...

This is the story of Mazagon, once an island inhabited by Kolis, Bhandaris and Agris. It remained so under the Portuguese, fetching them the highest revenue among all the islands of Bombay. Falling into British hands through a disputed dowry deed, Mazagon retained its identity as an island for many more years with its own fort, dock, churches and even a gunpowder factory. Then, like the other islands of the archipelago, Mazagon too got merged into a single entity called Bombay. But that did not diminish the importance of this place, which soon became a sought-after suburb of British Bombay,...

We think of the Raj as controlling only India and Pakistan, and its breakup happening in August 1947. In reality, a quarter of the world’s population was ruled by the Viceroy from New Delhi, in a single market/rupee-currency zone that spread from the Red Sea to the borders of Thailand – an empire within an empire that included Burma, parts of Yemen, and most of the Gulf states like Dubai. The breakup of this single ‘Indian Empire’ created almost all of the conflicts which plague Asia today.

Syeda X left the holy city of Banaras (now Varanasi) for Delhi with her young family in the aftermath of riots and communal violence in the early '90s. In Delhi, she settled into the life of a poor migrant, juggling multiple jobs a day - from sewing soccer balls and removing the stems from raisins, to shelling almonds sold in bulk to multinationals and assisting in illegal abortions. Syeda has held over 50 different jobs in 30 years, earning paltry sums in the process. And if she ever took a day off, her job would be lost to another faceless migrant.

ಈ ಕಥನವು ಘಟಿಸುವುದು ಉತ್ತರ ಕನ್ನಡ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ. ಕರಾವಳಿಯ ಈ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹಲವು ನದಿಗಳು ಹರಿದು ಸಮುದ್ರ ಸೇರುತ್ತವೆ. ನದಿಯು ಸಮುದ್ರವನ್ನು ಸೇರುವ ತಾಣವು ದೂರದಿಂದ ಶಾಂತ ಮನೋಹರವಾಗಿ ತೋರಿದರೂ, ಆ ಅಳಿವೆಯ ನಡುವೆ ಹೋಗಿ ನೋಡಿದಾಗಲೇ ನದಿಯು ಸಾಗರವನ್ನು ಸೇರುವಾಗಿನ ಕೋಲಾಹಲ ಕಾಣುವುದು. ಅಂತೆಯೇ ಬದಲಾವಣೆಯೊಡನೆ ಸೆಣಸುತ್ತಿರುವ ಇಲ್ಲಿಯ ಜೀವನವೂ.

स्वतंत्रता आंदोलनात संघाचा सहभाग होता परंतु संघानी त्याचे श्रेय घेतले नाही. संघसंस्थापक डॉ. हेडगेवार यांनी स्वातंत्र्य संग्रामात भाग घेण्यासाठी आपल्या डाँक्टरी पेशाचा स्वेच्छेने त्याग केला. डॉ. हेडगेवार यांचा जन्म १ एप्रिल,१८८९ साली नागपूर मध्ये झाला. नागपूर मध्ये १९०४-१९०५ मध्ये स्वातंत्र्य चळवळीचे वारे वाहू लागले. त्या आधी इथे पोषक वातावरण नव्हते. तरी १८९७ साली राणी व्हिक्टोरिया यांच्या राज्यारोहणाच्या हिरक जयंती निमित्त शाळांमध्ये मिठाई वाटप करण्यात आली. आठ वर्षाच्या केशवनी (डॉ हेडगेवार) ती मिठाई न खाता कचऱ्यात फेकून दिली.
