The Early History of India, from 600 B.C. to the Muhammadan Conquest, including the Invasion of Alexander the Great c35.s4.51

c35.s4.51

The volume deals with the political history of Hindu India, the land of the Brahmans, which is the real India; a land the fascination of which is largely due to the unique character of its civilization. That quality of strangeness makes the history of Hindu India less attractive to the European or American general reader than the more easily intelligible story of the Muslim and British conquerors, but anybody who desires to understand modern India must be content to spend some labour on the study of ancient India during the long ages of autonomy.
