This book attempts to provide a historical account of events shaping India since the arrival of the Portuguese in 1498. However, it is not merely a description of past events. The author not only covers significant historical events in the Indian subcontinent but also endeavors to reassess some of them by incorporating new evidence. In this process, sometimes lesser-known facts come to light. According to the author, to comprehend the overall flow of many events, a more detailed explanation is necessary for some, occasionally subtler and often entirely distinct aspects.Thus, the book will inspire its readers to explore new perspectives and knowledge, motivating them to delve deep into Indian history. The content and presentation of the book will prove extremely useful not only for the main examination's General Studies Paper-II but also for the preparation of the annual preliminary examination conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) in General Studies Paper-I. Candidates opting for history as an optional subject will also benefit from this book. Additionally, undergraduate and postgraduate students of history, as well as general enthusiasts of historical events, will find it valuable.While writing answers, candidates often need to uncover the multifaceted dimensions of historical events, analyze them thoroughly, and provide straightforward, logical, and accurate responses to navigate through the complex layers of historical events. This skill will eventually be applied by civil servants in real-life situations after they are appointed to higher positions in government service.
