These discussions are divided into following eras:
- Pre-history
- Neolithic Revolution
- Indus Valley Civilization
- Aryan Colonization
- Magadha Empire
- Incursion of Shakas & Kushans
- Incursion of Huns
- Dark Ages
- Delhi Sultanates
- Mughal Empire
- British Raj
Number of chapters for each of these sections, of course, will not be equal. As you can guess, there is lot more written history available on British raj period than about pre-historic formation of Indian sub-continent when the Indian peninsula separated from Africa. Or, about the time when homo sapiens migrated to Indian sub-continent. Nevertheless, understanding of ancient history is equally important to realize how India got here and what her heritage is. To understand why India is such a hodge-podge of cultures, languages, food, philosophies and deities. To understand why Indian Republic is one of the only two countries (the other being Czech Republic) today who confers supreme victory to the truth with it’s “Satyameva Jayate” motto.
