DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe knowledge and general range of interest in Indian history is restricted to Indus Valley Civilization, Mughal Dynasty (that too up to Aurangzeb's reign), Sher Shah Suri (for his building Grand Trunk Road, though it was built long before him), Mohammad-ibn Tughlak (due to the wrong and whimsical actions shown during his reign) and British era (restricted to Battle of Plassey and Lord Clive). Moreover, the major focus of history is oriented mainly around political history. Social and natural history is mostly ignored from general historical information. The 12,000-year-old Indian historical timeline is vast, and it may take years to acquire reasonable knowledge of the history of India. This book makes an effort to catch this vast spectrum of Indian history as a snippet in limited space. Efforts are made to capture social, natural, scientific, art, and human history alongside political history. Indian history, for the general readers, focuses mostly on North Indian (?ry?varta) History. Not many are aware of the rich history of the south of Vindhya Range and also the history of India that exists east of Patna. This book attempts to capture the contemporary history of South India and Eastern India along with North Indian History. The study of history is not complete unless one gets an overall global perspective of a particular period. This book tries to capture contemporary Global History alongside Indian History in that particular age.
