This short history of India has been written primarily for those who are proceeding to the matriculation examination of an Indian University. It may, however, be found of use to more advanced students and of interest to the general reader.

When every paragraph, and almost every sentence, has been a matter for jealous calculation, it has not been ...

The point of view taken in them is explained in the introduction.
