by Bijoy Misra (Author), Hemendra Acharya (Author), Sayantan Bose (Author), Krishnakali Dasgupta (Author), Hardik Dixit (Author), Rita Pandey (Author), Prem Nagar (Author), Satyendra Sharma (Author)
India is a unique civilization in the world that has shown resilience and stability in time. Discovering a style of acceptance and peaceful co-existence, India dominated the world culture and economy for several thousand years until she was invaded by the Arabs and occupied by the British. India's story is one of art, music, mathematics, literature, architecture, philosophy and erudition. The book narrates this story in six concept tracks from the ancient times until her independence from the British rule in 1947AD. The time is divided into seven periods, each presenting a twist in the evolution. The six tracks: (i) Geography and People, (ii) Art and Culture, (iii) Language and Literature, (iv) Philosophy and Religion, (v) Science and Technology, (vi) Economy and Politics - each track is led by a competent scholar or by a team of scholars to provide a comprehensive review of the track in the period. The book is edited by a group of established reviewers. It is vetted by researchers, scholars and teachers worldwide with highly positive commendations. Part II of the book extending it to the current times is under preparation.
