This accessible, narrative account follows Indian history over its
9,000 year trajectory, from the ancient Harappans to today,
emphasizing events and issues of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Written for high school students and general readers who have
little background on the world's largest democracy, this second
edition of a popular work provides an objective overview of Indian
history with a particular focus on the modern nation. Approximately
half of the book deals with developments since the beginning of the
20th century, with new chapters covering events and issues that
made news between 2002 and 2014. Readers can learn about the
Bollywood craze, 21st-century economic growth, and concerns about
the safety and equality of women today, as well as about such
traditional topics as Buddhism and Hinduism, the Mughal Dynasty,
and the British East India Company. Caste politics and the
establishment of the Republic of India are covered, as is the life
of Mahatma Gandhi. Completely revised and expanded, the second
edition features fresh content throughout and includes photographs
that were not in the earlier volume. The Notable Figures section,
Appendix of Leaders, timeline, and glossary are also updated, and
the bibliography now features electronic resources for students.
Completely updates the original, top-selling volume and adds
information about issues, people, and events post-2002 Covers the
entire history of India with particular attention to the formative
events of the 20th century and the economic transformation that has
taken place since 1991 Helps readers appreciate the sheer size of
India's current population, its ever-increasing economic
importance, and its strategic significance Presents information in
a clear, accessible style appropriate for readers who have little
or no previous knowledge about India Draws on the latest scholarly
studies of Indian history
