Reviews of previous editions:
'The most comprehensive history of India today' Jean Filliozat, Journal Asiatique
'They have succeeded in compressing into a limited number of pages a history of the subcontinent ... Their joint achievement is remarkable ... For the student and the general reader who wants a balanced introduction to Indian history this volume can be recommended with enthusiasm. It is clearly written and it shows excellent knowledge of contemporary research.' Anne Vergati, Durham University Journal
'India produced an amazing succession of interesting cultures across five millennia and Hermann Kulke and Dietmar Rothermund's A History of India covers that in eight serious, balanced and readable chapters.'
Sudipta Kaviraj, The Times Higher Education Supplement
A History of India presents the grand sweep of Indian history from antiquity to the present in a compact and readable survey. The authors examine the major political, economic, social and cultural forces which have shaped the history of the Indian subcontinent. Providing an authoritative and detailed account, Hermann Kulke and Dietmar Rothermund emphasise and analyse the structural pattern of Indian history.
Revised throughout, the fourth edition of this highly accessible book brings the history of India up to date to consider, for example, the recent developments in the Kashmir conflict. Along with a new Glossary, this new edition also includes an expanded discussion of the Mughal Empire as well as the economic history of India.
