India is the home of ancient religions and practices. It is a nation whose fascinating history teaches us about tolerance, diversity, and unity. This far-reaching subcontinent has been the place where great empires have developed, the place of monumental battles, the place of foreign invaders and the place of birth of cultures and religions.

This book represents a compelling illustration of one of the world’s oldest civilizations: the road it followed to reach the place where it is today, and the primary elements that shaped its culture. It is a narrative that takes you from the ancient beginnings of the nation to modern-day India.

Here is a brief insight into the content of the book:

  • Ancient India: its most significant empires and the coming of Islam

if free, ok. Do NOT buy.

I found it on Kindle unlimited for free and regret paying extra for the narration. the book was very sketchy. while I knew it was going to be a quick run through a very large amount of History, I didn't expect it to be so shallow and have such an obvious axe to grind. Not really impartial and poorly written as well. the narrator had a hard time pronouncing things and although did their best there was obvious stop and starts and no punctuation. now I'm going to look at the Kindle version and I hope it has a whole lot of maps and maybe photographs because that might make up for the poorly organized prose and bad narration
