Description
About the book :
This is a narration intended for general reading for those who are interested in knowing the history and culture of India. The material analyzed in this work is gathered from various sources. However the material was presented with new analysis. New angles were brought into focus. The work is free from ideological shackles and biases.
Recent strides in imaging through satellite technology and nuclear physics resolved many riddles of history. Serious attention has been paid to this aspect. For example, images of the NASA’s Landsat, and of ISRO have shown the remains of a buried river in between Yamuna and Sutlej, agreeing with the description of the Sarasvati River of Vedic times.
Though chronology was scrupulously followed, nevertheless, un-eventful periods were skipped. A lot of information and facts were placed in the notes to maintain readability of the text.
