Review: Excellent book- showcasing real Indian history - Excellent book- showcasing real Indian history. Indian history is usually written from communist or colonial mindset. Read this excellent book to understand true India Review: Incredible Book - It is such an easy-to-read book, fast-paced, beautifully written, and thoughtfully structured. It offers a brief yet fascinating overview of India's history, beginning with the Rig Veda and taking the reader all the way to modern India through the lens of geography. What makes this book stand out is the way Sanjeev Sanyal explains how rivers, mountains, coastlines, monsoons, and trade routes have shaped the rise and fall of kingdoms, cities, cultures, and civilizations across the Indian subcontinent. The narrative is engaging, and despite covering thousands of years of history, it never feels overwhelming. This is not an exhaustive history of India, nor does it attempt to be. Instead, it serves as an excellent introduction that connects geography with historical events in a way that is both accessible and thought-provoking. It leaves the reader curious to explore many of the topics in greater depth. ## Features - Genre: History - Author: Sanjeev Sanyal - Format: Paperback - Book Language: English - Book Origin: India - Publisher: Penguin Books - Publication Year: 2015 - ISBN: 9780143333661 - Number of Pages: 264 - Product Dimension: 13.0 x 19.6 x 2.0 cm ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #60,596 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #115 in Historical Fiction for Young Adults #206 in Geography #239 in History of Asia | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,093 Reviews | ## Images ![The Incredible History of India'a Geography - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61GOYERnjCL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book- showcasing real Indian history *by C***T on 17 February 2022* Excellent book- showcasing real Indian history.
