5,000 years of historyーfrom the Bhagavad Gita to Bollywoodーfill this masterful portrait of the world’s most populous nation and a rising global power. The Shortest History books deliver thousands of years of history in one riveting, fast-paced read. Indiaーa cradle of civilization with five millennia of history, a country of immense consequence and contradictionーoften defies ready understanding. What holds its people togetherーacross its many cultures, races, languages, and creedsーand how has India evolved into the liberal democracy it is today? From the Harappan era to Muslim invasions, the Great Mughals, British rule, independence, and present-day hopes, John Zubrzycki distills India’s colossal history into a gripping true story filled with legendary lives: Alexander the Great, Akbar, Robert Clive, Tipu Sultan, Lakshmi Bai, Lord Curzon, Jinnah, and Gandhi. India’s gifts to the world include Buddhism, yoga, the concept of zero, the largest global diasporaーand its influence is only growing. Already the world’s largest democracy, in 2023, India became the most populous nation. Can India overcome its political, social, and religious tensions to be the next global superpower? As the world watchesーand wondersーthis Shortest History is an essential, clarifying read.画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
