Book
A history of India / Peter Robb.
The immensity of India makes most national histories seem parochial. Peter Robb's clear, fluent narrative explores the interplay between India's empires and regions of rule, custom and belief. Robb's focus on the principal themes which serve to unify Indian history offers the reader a sophisticated yet accessible view of its dynamics. Early Indian history, the Mughal Empire, the British Raj and post-1947 India up to the present day are all rewardingly explored in this ideal starting-point for all those with an interest in India's past and present.
