Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a pioneering history of India from the prehistoric age to the British period. The author, an acclaimed philologist, provides a fresh perspective on India's past using new archaeological discoveries and linguistic analysis. The prehistoric section postulates mon-khmer as the original language of India and posits two waves of immigration from the north-east. Moving on to the Vedic era, the author traces the movement of Aryans into the Punjab and the development of class divisions. The book also chronicles the second Aryan immigration and the establishment of the caste system. The author uses the Ramayana and the Mahabharata to illustrate the growth of monarchical states and national feeling in the Brahmanic period.
