About The Book : This book contained on India through the ages is a survey of the evolution of modern India by a renowned, widely read and versatile historian of India. Even those who criticised Indian Nationalism have admitted that beneath the manifold diversity of physical and social type, language, custom and religion, there is an underlying uniformity of life from the Himalayas to Cap Comorin. There is in fact an Indian character and a general Indian personality. India is at cross-roads because of crisis of character and vested interests of political parties. About The Author : Sir Jadunath Sarkar CIE FRAS (1870 –1958) was a prominent Indian historian and a specialist on the Mughal dynasty. He graduated in English from Presidency College, Calcutta. In 1892, he topped the Master of Arts examination, in English at Calcutta University and in 1897, he received the Premchand-Roychand Scholarship. Sarkar's works faded out of public memory, with the increasing advent of Marxist and postcolonial schools of historiography. Academically, Jos J. L. Gommans compares Sarkar's work with those of the Aligarh historians, noting that while the historians from the Aligarh worked mainly on the mansabdari system and gunpowder technology in the Mughal Empire, Judunath Sarkar was best remembered for his historical works, including: A History of Jaipur, Military History of India, A History of Aur
