Review # 1 was written on 2008-02-27 00:00:00 Paul Bolger I did not study History formally after my High School, but thanks to interaction with friends who studied it at the university level I was aware of the 5 volume(or is it six) History of India bu R C Dutt and others. Finally I got around to reading the first volume and it was a pleasant experience. I didn't discover anything new - the book covers familiar territory, but it did help me organize my knowledge of this period in my mind. It is difficult for me to visualize how this book would appeal to someone who has no knowledge of this period of Indian history, but I think it would be a readable and concise introduction to ancient India, the Vedas, Hindu religion and philosophy, and the two major epics - Ramayana and Mahabharata. The book overshoots the time indicated in the title with discussion of Buddhism, Jainism and the six major schools of Indian philosophy - all of which developed much after 600 BCE.
