Since the beginning of the 18th century the historiography of India witnessed the appearance of innumerable books based on the perspectives of traditional, colonial and imperialist, nationalist, Marxist, subaltern, interdisciplinary and postmodern in disguising the process of history of India. Consequently, the scope of the subject enlarged from purely chronological framework of polity, society, economy and culture as independent entities to that of understanding the linkages between them in shaping the course of historical development.
The book, which is a synthesized open-ended narrative of India’s long journey from the earliest to the modern period, includes all aspects of human life and relations in time and space. It also summarizes the process and nature of historical change as perceived by different historians reflecting the latest trends of historical research of more than half a century to enable the students and laymen understand and comprehend this process.
