This is an excellent historian, and he thoroughly covers the story of India in this epic book. True to his style, he emphasizes ancient times and prehistory, with a rather less-detailed glance at the modern era.

Excellent

This is an outstanding general history of India and is strongly recommended. The narrative is very well written and organized, making it a very useful broad discussion of Indian history. I had read a similar general history of India 15 years ago and this book is far better written and includes much recent scholarship.

Outstanding

Well detailed book on the history of India. Lots of detail and goes from the very beginning to modern times. Not a book to read overnight or for the casual tourist but great book for those who real students of this countries' history.

A Good Detailed Book

There a few minor challenges to the book, in particular its introduction to the European presence in India is weak but it eventually recovers the narrative as the British presence becomes a real factor in India.
