About The Book: "India: Vedic and Post-Vedic" by J. Talboys Wheeler explores the early historical and religious development of India, covering the Vedic and Post-Vedic periods. Drawing primarily on ancient Sanskrit texts like the Vedas, Upanishads, and epics, Wheeler reconstructs the socio-political structure, religious ideas, and cultural life of early Indian civilization. Though framed within a colonial and Eurocentric perspective, the book is valued for its attempt to chronicle India’s formative epochs using available literary and historical sources, offering insights into ancient Hindu traditions and institutions About The Author: James Talboys Wheeler (1824–1897) was a British historian and civil servant in colonial India, known for his detailed and documentary-based histories of India. Initially a publisher and educator, he became a prominent "bureaucrat-historian," producing works like Madras in the Olden Time and a comprehensive multi-volume History of India. Though imperialist in outlook, his reliance on official records marked a shift toward empirical historical writing. Wheeler’s scholarship, though not groundbreaking in theory, remains valuable for its archival depth and narrative clarity in colonial historiography.
