Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Indians know that their culture and traditions remained remarkably unscathed through the Mughal and British rule. But they as well as the non-Indians would be pleasantly surprised to know that many aspects of the contemporary Indian life are still conducted according to patterns and traditions spanning more than 5000 years, not just a couple of hundred years !!!! This book emphasizes the golden age of Indian history, the height of Indian civilization- from 200 BC to 700 AD. The author draws from various sacred texts, poems, epics and traveler accounts to present a condensed consolidated account of the complexities of one of world's most noble and refined civilizations. We, at Recipedelights.com, thought that the scholarly treatment of the subject made for an interesting reading. We would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in history esp. the Indian civilization.
