India: The Ancient Past

The book isn't perfect; it has a faint air of liberal bias throughout (which I say as a generally liberal sort) and it seems lacking on certain details I've found in a less focused text on India's history. However, it brings up other points I haven't seen before and does so through a compelling, but decidedly academic narrative. I also greatly appreciate the regular inclusion of quotes -- often from contemporary sources -- with the citation for them being displayed right with the quote. Additionally, while I'm not wholly satisfied with the overall organization of the book, the frequent headers and repeating trends help to clearly convey what the focus is at any given point in the text. A quality and informative read.

Fascinating! Really sticks it to the British!
