History of India: From the Earliest Times to the Sixth Century B.c. (1)
History of India · Book 1Description
This richly narrated volume traces the early history of India from its earliest civilizations through the sixth century B.C., introducing the peoples, traditions, literature, and ideas that shaped one of the world’s great ancient cultures. It explores the Rig-Veda and Indo-Aryan society, the Vedic and Brahmanic periods, the epics Mahabharata and Ramayana, and the development of law, astronomy, philosophy, and education. Particular attention is given to the Upanishads, the evolution of caste, Buddhist sacred literature, and the life and teachings of Gautama Buddha. Written in an accessible style and reproduced from the classic early twentieth-century edition with its original illustrations, the work offers a compelling introduction to India’s religious, intellectual, and cultural foundations.
