DESCRIPTION
India is a cradle of human civilisation. Its culture is closely linked with that of many other peoples and has exerted a significant influence upon their development. Despite centuries of this mutual enrichment India has maintained its original and striking individuality. The present edition is a revised and enlarged version of the shorter history, written for Indian and other foreign readers by prominent Soviet historians and indologists.
