“The light-hearted sneer ‘India has had some episodes, but no history’ is used to justify lack of study, grasp, and intelligence on the part of foreign writers about India’s past. The considerations that follow will prove that it is precisely the episodes — lists of dynasties and kings, tales of war and battle spiced with anecdote, which fill school texts — that are missing from Indian records. Here, for the first time, we have to reconstruct a history without episodes, which means that it cannot be the same type of history as in the European tradition.
History is a subject that gives the facts and perspectives of past events. In its given premises, it includes a wide range of topics such as geographical conditions and human settlements; society and cultures; type of governance and administrative systems; trade and economic policy; interstate relationships; wars and battles, etc. in the time frame of Ancient, Medieval, and Modern.
History is one of the essential disciplines of Social Science to know the past and design the future accordingly.
This tutorial is divided into different chapters and provides the historical facts of Ancient India in a given time framework.
