The 5,000 Years India Survived Without Being a Country

The 5,000-year history of India from Mohenjo-Daro to modern India explained. From the grid streets and Great Bath of the Indus Valley with its 4,000 unread seals, to Ashoka's rock edicts after Kalinga and the Gupta invention of zero by Aryabhata and Brahmagupta, it shows how rivers, pilgrim roads and an absorbent culture outlived every empire. It ends with Partition, the Green Revolution, the 1991 gold pledge and the seals that still hide India's first name.
