Description
History Of Medieval India is the second book in a series written to provide a comprehensive
overview of the history of the Indian subcontinent.
Summary Of The Book
History Of Medieval India covers the historical landscape of the Indian subcontinent over a period of
a thousand years, between the eighth and eighteenth century AD. The book starts off with a birds
eye view of the state of the world during the medieval period, before dwelling on the rise and fall of
empires in the Indian subcontinent.
Writing about the history of India is a daunting task, but the author has attempted to carry out the
task with the eye of an inquirer and the pen of a scholar. The book has been written keeping in mind
readers who may have some basic knowledge of the political situation in medieval India and would
like to pursue the knowledge further. The book elucidates the beginnings, growths and deaths of
many a dynasty, including but not limited to the Cholas, Rajputs, Vijayanagara kings, Bahmanids and
the Marathas.
History Of Medieval Indias primary merit lies in the fact that it departs from the well worn path of
writing about dynastic history alone and looks at the social, political, cultural and economic
developments that the period gave rise to. Some of these developments still have significance in
contemporary relevance, such as the caste system which seems to have been born around this
period.
The author has done a tremendous job in condensing such a large amount of subject matter in such
a small space.
About Satish Chandra
Satish Chandra is among Indias most well known historians.
He has composed many works and some of them include, Essays on Medieval Indian History,
Historiography, Religion and State in Medieval India, State, Pluralism and the Indian Historical
Tradition, and The Indian Ocean and its Islands: Strategic, Scientific and Historical Perspectives.
Satish Chandra was a reader in history in the Aligarh Muslim University before joining the Jawaharlal
Nehru University as a professor and co-founder. He was the first dean of the School of Social
Sciences in JNU. He is a Marxist Indian historian. Satish Chandra is best known for his works on
Indian medieval history.

Description
Indias Ancient Past deals with a comprehensive historical account of early India. R.S Sharma guides
the readers through the formation and evolution of Indian civilizations over time.
Summary Of The Book
The term history is generally associated with mundane and uninteresting recording of facts.
Fortunately, R.S Sharma provides a radically vivid and captivating narrative through his work, Indias
Ancient Past.
This book deals specifically with the origin of various empires and religious cultures in the growing
periods of India. It also charts the beginnings of different geographical, linguistic, and ecological
phenomenon.
Sharma also gives information regarding the cultures dominating in the Neolithic, Vedic periods and
during the Harappan Civilization. The book provides insights about the rise of religions such as
Buddhism, Jainism, and others along with the development of territorial states.
Breaking away from the traditional factual recording seen in history, Indias Ancient Past provides an
easy-to-comprehend reading structure as it deals with several topics such as urbanization, Varna
system, commerce, science, and much more.
Sharma also assesses the transition periods from Ancient to Medieval and the changes that
occurred as a result.

He is known for works such as Aspects of Political Ideas and Institutions in Ancient India published in
2005, Looking for the Aryans published in 1995 and Indian Feudalism published in 2005.
When it comes to Professor Sharmas writing style, he has been known for his literary and
epigraphic works where he demolishes several myths that deal with imperialism and colonialism in
history. He has also banished the notions of cultural chauvinists and provided counter studies
dealing the scientific evolution of Indian society.

within Indian history. Sharma is also the founding Chairman of the Indian Council of Historical
Research. He died on 21st August, 2011 and on his death a memorial function was held by the

Description
Eric Hobsbawm looks at an age where governments began to evolve, embracing private enterprise
and capitalist ideals in The Age of Capital (1848-1875).
Summary of the Book
In this book, Hobsbawm continues his theory of evolution of modern civilization from the dual
revolution thesis. He outlines the rise of private enterprise, focusing on the importance of the French
Revolution and the Industrial Revolution. He also discusses how governments changed their ideals

leads to the rise of capitalism and its philosophies.

Description
The Age of Empire is a historical account of the evolution of European economics, politics, arts,
science and cultural life in the years between 1875 and 1914. Written by Eric Hobsbawm, this book
presents the definitive look into the beginning of the fall of all the monarchies around the world.
Summary of the Book
Eric Hobsbawm continues his series into the late 19th century. He begins with the industrial
revolution at its zenith, where human innovation begins to take flight, quite literally. He explains that
the capitalist economy was recovering from the Panic of 1847, but the dominant British economy
was being undermined by the German economy and American economy. There was peace in the
world in this period, leading to widespread optimism that there would be peace for some more time
to come. They were so horribly wrong. By the time the 20th century had dawned, the world was
teetering towards a war that it would not forget for a long time to come: one that would engulf all of it
into one chaotic battle, costing millions of lives World War I.
