Combining factual information with a critical approach which probes
the nature of culture and identity, this concise yet authoritative
account paints a graphic picture of an area stretching from the
Indian Ocean to the Himalayan mountains. With coverage not only of
India, but also of Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka, this
book surveys nearly 5000 years, from the early settlers of
prehistory to the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi and the Tamil Tiger
conflicts. Particular emphasis is placed on the last 200 years,
while the key theme of shifting regional identities underpins the
author's insights in to the social, economic and spiritual past of
the region. In the world of globalization that we now inhabit, no
world region is understood as being composed simply of enclosed
national territories of politics, economy, society, and culture.
South Asia is a global phenomenon, and working that idea into our
understanding of South Asian history is a challenge that this new
edition fully embraces.
