“Our book covers the breadth of India’s history from the formation of its unique landmass to present day social and economic challenges. Alongside the historical narrative, box items and explanatory captions for photographs enrich the main narrative with the story of India’s cultural and philosophical contributions to the world.” - Shobita Punja for Sarmaya Talks.
