India. Full History

Everyone has their own image of India. For some, it is an ancient country with stunning architectural monuments such as the Ajanta temple complexes, the Taj Mahal, the palaces of Jaipur; for others, it is the birthplace of Buddhism and... Hinduism; for others still, it is the land where great epics were born: the Rigveda, the Ramayana, the Mahabharata. Today, India is one of the most dynamically developing countries, influencing many processes that take place in the South Asian region and beyond. Its history spans several millennia and represents a kind of labyrinth of politics, culture, religion, and traditions, which is narrated in this book.
