Adults and children joy

Used it almost as a bedtime story book for my children. Very well done. 10 years and up can connect while adults, ignorant of India history, will actually find a strong and entertaining way into the unbelievable history of India.

An introduction for everyone

The best introduction to the history of India for anyone, of any age, approaching this huge subject for the first time. A fast read to organize further study. A great great survey if you need it now.

Another author' attempt to tell Indians their own history through western lens.

The problem with many such writers is that they cling to a western version of Indian history, which like science, changes its versions. Somewhere around 75% information in chapter-4 'The Poets of the Vedas' is misleading. I dropped the book right after never to touch it again.1. She refers to Nomad folks as the composures of the great Vedas.2. Soma rasa (the divine drink drank by rishis and devas) is conveniently described to be either marijuana, mushrooms or even opium.3. Varna system, which was exploited by the people in power at some point in history is somewhat described accurately.4. According to western historians and the author of this book, Rama was a white man "Aryan" (a mythical race created in mid-1800 by Max Muller) even though in Valmiki' Ramayana, Rama is described to have a wonderful dark complexion. She probably never read the original scriptures.5. Hers, as well as western translation of the word Dasa, is a slave. Dasa means a servant. Devotees traditionally put Das or Dasi as the second name in Indian culture. e.g. Ram Das means servant of Lord Ram, Krishna Das means servant of Lord Krsna. The word slave did not exist in Indian culture until the barbaric Islamic tribes from the Middle East, invaded India. They brought slaves with them and made many slaves of tribals in India.
