About The Book: The history of India is divided into ancient and modern periods. Ancient India saw the rise of the Indus Valley Civilization, followed by the Vedic Age, the Maurya and Gupta Empires, which laid the foundations of Indian culture, philosophy, and governance. The arrival of Islam in the medieval period led to the Delhi Sultanate and Mughal Empire, which influenced art, architecture, and society. Modern India began with British colonial rule, leading to social reform movements and the struggle for independence. India gained independence in 1947, marking the start of its journey as a republic, with a focus on development, democracy, and global influence.
