The History of IndiaKenneth Pletcher Senior Editor, Geography and History The Rosen Publishing Group, Inc, 2010年8月15日 - 344 頁 Sophisticated societies have risen and fallen in India for more than four millennia, from the urbanized Harappa culture to today s Republic of India, the world s largest democracy. Because of its natural wealth, India has long been a tempting prize for invaders, yet foreign forces such as the Mughal Empire and the British did not destroy India s vibrant spirit. Rather, external influences often became absorbed into the mix of different peoples, languages, religions, and regional traditions, creating a lasting culture of great depth. This book recounts the history of India and much of present-day Pakistan and Bangladesh as well as the factors that have contributed to India s epic economic successes in recent times. Memorable images texture the narrative and vividly animate the story of this unique nation. |
