Book is necessarily a history book. At first i thought it as a geography book but i found it useful in the way that it connects the two. Learning history through geographical land marks is really fantastic ans fascinating. Reading this book gives you a feeling as if the whole scene narrated in the book is actually being played in front of eye of the reader. How India actually changed geographically, culturally, habitually, sensually, everything is covered. It essentially tells how India has c...

A good read for anyone who is interested in Indian History. It answered many question I had in my mind, like why is India called Bharath, what gave Britishers an edge over Portugese and other invaders, and many more that I hadn't even thought of. Give it a read to get a glimpse of our heritage.

PS: I brought the book from outside for Rs 399. Should have brought from flipkart. Still was worth it. Was what I was searching for :)

This is an wonderful book to understand history. It give new way to analyze our past and Indus sarashwathy civilization. I love this book... Worth of every penny.......

I was quiet skeptical when a friend suggested me this book but after going through 1st few pages I was excited about what was in store.The book summurizes our entire history right from harrapan Civilization to British India, it gives us all those details which we scarcely find in general history books.It was amazing to know how Mt.Everest was discovered and why it got its name also fascinating was the story about Allahabad Pillar.All in all a good book but on the con side for all the naive re...

Amazingly easy to read and rich with details. Author has done lots of research and it reflects in the book. You will enjoy each and every page as it will enhance your knowledge.

A superb book explaining the history of India through its geography. The Book starts with R1a1 genes and its origins, goes on to cover Out of India Theory with conviction, Harappa civilization, the lost river Saraswati , Vedic culture and works, Gangetic plains, Medieval India kingdoms, Delhi sultans, Mughal, Europeans and everthing in between. It's a mix of travelogue, Geography and History so i found it really refreshing and interesting. It covers many little known places like Hampi Vijayna...

Its a good read. Brief and interesting. I came across a lot of new facts. A very impressive perspective of India by the author. Good effort.

A very lucidly written book on the history of India's Geography. It does not sound like a boring lecture that you were forced to attend on a subject that was not particularly engaging. The book is easy to read and has some very interesting information about the importance of Mapping in India and how it shaped the destiny of several foreign rulers who ruled over the vast land. The symbolism of Tigers and Lions in the building of kingdoms was particularly enthralling and was an eye opener for m...

excellent book

I have not read it completely but if you like to read history you must read this book.
