This book is considered a useful source of history for aspirants to
the Indian civil services. Basham’s popular work covers the period
between ancient India and the arrival of the Muslims. It covers details
of the Harappan and Mohenjodaro findings and then dwells on the
now-controversial Aryan invasion theory. Basham also studies the
interpretations of the Rig Veda and other Sanskrit texts to give a
better understanding of the country’s past.
