Tigers of the Snow and Other Virtual Sherpas
A good holistic account of the development of Indian culture and civilisation from the paleolithic age to 1200 CE. Burjor Avari is not a professional historian, but he uses good sources for this account. The only drawback is that South Indian history isn't given as much attention as that of the North.
