Asia in the past nurtured great civilisations and cultures, some of
which withstood the onslaughts of the mighty West. After suffering
from the evils of colonial rule, Asia today is poised to occupy the
centre stage of the world arena, with India, China and Japan
playing leading role. In this context, it is all the more necessary
for college and university students in Asia and the west to
acquaint themselves with the history of Asia. Hence this book. The
book is different from others of this genre, as it connects the
ancient and medieval Asia with the modern world. It ideals with the
history of each country in its geographical setting with the
interaction and impact of neighbouring countries. Early migrations,
settlements, formation of kingdoms and empires, socio-economic
aspects of Islamic conquests and the advent of Western powers are
all accounted for. The modern period (up to 2004) is treated in a
detailed manner covering topics like colonisation, impact of
Western civilisation, the rise of nationalism and the achievement
of independence. The current history highlights subversion of
democracies, ushering in of military rule, ethnic conflicts,
movements for the restoration of democracy, oppression of
minorities, economic issues, nuclear proliferation and the war on
terror -- all in a fascinating manner -- with maps, bibliography,
and an index to stimulate reader's interest.
