India is a nation having a chequered history. Home to ancient civilizations, many world religions flourished in India a spread to other parts of the world. These include Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism etc.
In this volume an attempt is made to furnish accurate information on ancient history of India in chronological order. This book consists of the following chapters: Main Sources of Ancient History of India; Focus on Pre- Historic Age; Indus Valley Civilization: Rise and Fall; Understanding Vedic Period; Focus on Later Vedic Age or Epic Age; Rise of Religious Movements; The Rise of Magadha and Foreign Invasions; The Mauryan Dynasty; The History of Gupta Dynasty; The Arab Invasion of Sindh and The Rise of Turks etc.
Definitely, this will serve the purpose of academics as well as professionals in the field.
It is well known that such works cannot be accomplished single- handedly. While gathering basic information I have consulted a number of books, articles and other readings, penned by different scholars of repute. Web-based sources are also profusely consulted. I owe a deep sense of gratitude to all those scholars whose works are cited or substantially made use of. I am grateful to my teachers, colleagues, friends and family members for their guidance, cooperation, inspiration and moral support. Last but not the least, I am thankful to my publishers for undertaking publication of this book and materializing it in superb way.
