About The Book

The History of India begins with the Indus Valley Civilization and the coming of the Aryans. These two phases are generally described as the preVedic and Vedic periods. The earliest literary source that sheds light on India’s past is the Rig Veda. It is difficult to date this work with any accuracy on the basis of tradition and ambiguous astronomical information contained in the hymns.
