Buch Erstausgabe
Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. This is the second volume in the series on Indian history, titled 'From Indus to Independence: A Trek through Indian History'. The volume covers Indian history from 200 B.C to around 600 A.D., a period that is often referred to as the age of diffusion and disintegration. However, it was also during this period that the Imperial Gupta family ruled North India, creating the 'Golden Age of the Guptas'.The book also investigates the developments that took place during this period in the fields of art, architecture, literature, and philosophy while examining the immense influence that Indian kingdoms exercised in the emerging South-East Asian nations of the time. More importantly, it examines the lesser known dynasties that ruled smaller kingdoms in of the sub-continent for brief periods of time, but exerted a great deal of influence on the outcome of conflicts and other socio-politico developments. The analysis of Indian history is also done with clear and direct reference to the events in Peninsular India and provides detailed information on the dynasties that ruled South India. The history of South India is an aspect that generally tends to be glossed over in a large number of books on Indian history. In this respect, this volume stands out in the manner in which the author has carefully and consistently recounted the lesser known parts of Indian history in a holistic manner. (jacket).
