Nice History

This is yet another well researched, eminently readable book by Captivating History. Certainly, there are persons, events, cultural trends, which are omitted, but I fail to see how this could be avoided in a one-volume survey. I found it fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable.

History Of India

This book is grand in its scope, & brings forth wonderfully argued cases towards what is an Indian experience from a socio-politico-economic perspective. I highly recommend this book.

India in 3 hours

Excellent narration and the very well structured chronological events of a country and with a population of diverse beliefs. Thank you India for the number 0.

Well Done

This author cruises through five millennia of India's history with verve, humor, and a sharp eye for the details that help bring distant ages to life. I especially like the way he pulls the curtain back on the historical record to discuss the modern feats of discovery, scholarship, and brain-busting translation that made our current knowledge of India's past possible.

Well Written

This book is well put-together structurally. It covers the relevant periods in sufficient depth and breadth. However, I found some of the theories of ancient India seemed to contradict recent evidence. Also, the author has a too-strong editorial voice. I felt there was too much disrespect towards the ancient civilizations and their holy books.
