What comes to mind when you think of India? The mesmerising Taj
Mahal? Huge elephants and agile monkeys, shimmering silks and spicy
food? India is all these things and many others. Its sights,
smells, wealth and poverty have fascinated visitors for hundreds of
years. Its history is one of trade and invasion - from the Aryans
to the British Raj. Each has left its mark, adding to India's
extraordinary diversity. In 2022, it is 75 years since India gained
independence from its latest conquerors - the British. Today, India
is the world's largest democracy with, until Covid 19, a burgeoning
economy, and active technology, space and nuclear programmes.
Tradition still co-exists alongside modernisation, giving a
tantalising mix of old and new. This book charts the history of
India, from the extraordinary Indus Civilisation of 2500 BCE to the
present day, interspersed with glimpses of Indian life and culture
in its people, places, food, clothing, religions, festivals,
languages and stories. Includes some activities such as how to wear
a sari, make a cauliflower curry and build your own puppet theatre.
Illustrated with a mix of photos and artwork, this book will be a
beautiful celebration of Indian landscapes, people and history.
