Description
The world's largest democracy and second most populous country, 21st century India is a dynamic nation with a thriving economy, made up of a variety of beliefs and peoples united under one flag. Its history is a unique story of ancient empires and civilisations, some dating back to humankind's earliest times. A Short History of India traces this fascinating path from the India of ancient and powerful kingdoms to the flourishing, vibrant nation that it is today.
