100 Great Chronigles of Indian History

Gayathri Ponvannan builds a history of India out of the records themselves: inscriptions, copper plates, manuscripts, maps, letters and journals that survived to tell their own story. Each of the hundred entries takes one document or artefact and explains what it was, who made it and what it reveals about its moment, running from cave paintings through to the framing of the Constitution. The short, self-contained format lets a reader dip in anywhere, while the chronological arrangement still gives a sense of sequence. This edition covers: • One hundred historical records presented as individual short entries • A span reaching from prehistoric art to modern constitutional documents • Explanation of inscriptions, manuscripts, maps and official papers • Language pitched at school-age readers without talking down A useful classroom and family reference for students of Indian history, available at Boipoka.
