Quick Histories: Whole Histories You Can Read in An Hour Or Two
India's history unfolds over thousands of years, both timeless and of sudden, dramatic changes. It is the story of the rise and fall of empires and religions, a twisting, surprising journey from one of the first human civilisations to three different modern countries: India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
India has fascinated outsiders for millennia, from early invaders like ancient Persian emperors and Alexander the Great to the settlers of the British Raj. This book will explain this grand story: the great empires of India, the world religions that developed there, and its difficult, long journey to modernity and independence.
Includes a history of Pakistan and a history of Bangladesh.
