A History of India (The Great Courses: Civilization & Culture Series) Guidebook by Michael H. Fisher
Requirements: Any PDF Reader, 5mb
Overview: Over 5,000 years, India has been home to a rich tapestry of peoples and cultures. Two of the world’s great religions – Hinduism and Buddhism – have their origins in South Asia, and the lands east of the Indus River have long been a central hub for trade, migration, and cultural exchange. Today the subcontinent contains 20 percent of the world’s population and is a thriving center for global business, making this region one of most significant economic powerhouses in the world.
Go inside this thrilling story with A History of India, a breathtaking survey of South Asia from its earliest societies along the Indus and Ganges rivers through the modern challenges of the 21st century. These 36 sweeping lectures enable you to understand the epic scope of the subcontinent’s history. Perhaps the most important facet of this history is how diverse the region truly is. Roughly the size of continental Europe, India – along with its neighbors, Pakistan and Bangladesh – contains a myriad of ethnic groups, socioeconomic classes, religions, and cultural mores.
Professor Fisher, who has traveled and taught in South Asia for decades, reveals this complex narrative with skill and compelling insights.
