SynopsisJohn Keay's India: A History is a probing and provocative chronicle of five thousand years of South Asian history, from the first Harrapan settlements on the banks of the Indus River to the recent nuclear-arms race. In a tour de force of narrative history, Keay blends together insights from a variety of scholarly fields and weaves them together to chart the evolution of the rich tapestry of cultures, religions, and peoples that makes up the modern nations of Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh. Authoritative and eminently readable, India: A History is a compelling epic portrait of one of the world's oldest and most richly diverse civilizations.
Great book on India particularly the period from the Delhi sultanate 1183-1526. Although, he goes into the Mughal period rather haphazardly. Going from babur to Aurangzeb and back to Akbar. The book is a great synthesis of Indian history. Worth the read.
