A New History of India by Stanley Wolpert

Description

In lively, accessible language, Stanley Wolpert condenses more than 4,000 years of India’s history into a graceful and engaging narrative. He discusses modern India’s rapidly growing population, industry, and economy, and also considers the prospects for India’s future. From a carefully balanced perspective, Wolpert presents a fair and truthful record of India’s history―he offers both a triumphant portrayal of the brightest achievements of Indian civilization as well as a sobering examination of its persistent social inequities and economic and political corruption.
