About This Novel
Do all Indians believe in Hinduism? What's going on with India's "weird" caste system? The Indus River, the birthplace of ancient Indian civilization, is not in India? The answers to these questions are all in "History of Indian Civilization"! About India, our familiar yet unfamiliar neighbor, this book will tell you all about it! The representative work of American South Asian history scholar Burton Stein is an authoritative foreign textbook and has been best-selling for 25 years. The whole book narrates the historical changes in India from 7000 BC to the 21st century, linking contemporary Indian political issues with its history. Taking the formation and development of Indian civilization as the main axis, it comprehensively interprets India's geographical relations, dynasty changes, religious culture and social development. Using the triple perspectives of history, anthropology, and archeology, it provides an in-depth interpretation of the historical formation of today's India, a panoramic representation of the evolution of civilization in the South Asian subcontinent, and an in-depth analysis of the familiar yet unfamiliar Indian civilization for Chinese-speaking readers.
