India has long been and still remains one of the most popular among tourists, the most recognizable and at the same time the most mysterious countries in the world. Its traditions, customs and unique culture have influenced the history of all mankind. The history of India begins several thousand years ago in the Indus River Valley, where the legendary Harappan civilization was born. Ancient and original, this country is known to us primarily as the birthplace of Sanskrit, the Mahabharata epic, the decimal system of counting, Hinduism and Buddhism, many philosophical movements, yoga. What events shaped India and played an important role in its fate? The book by the outstanding British historian John Kay covers five thousand years of the history of this extraordinary country, from its very origins to the present day: the great empires of the Mauryas, Guptas and Mughals, the spread of Islam, the Delhi Sultanate, the activities of the East India Company and the British conquests, Mahatma Gandhi and the independence movement. Exploring the very different paths of Pakistan, Bangladesh and the Republic of India, Kay's brilliant and vividly written narrative creates an epic portrait of one of the world's oldest and most diverse civilisations. First published in 2000, it remains one of the most comprehensive and comprehensive accounts of Indian history anywhere. Previously published in the Historical Interest series, India: 5,000 Years of History.
