This volume of well-organized selections encapsulate the history of man’s quest for knowledge and progress. The authors selected herein have journeyed deep into their past to find people who gave them gifts that would last forever: the gifts of freedom, dignity and self-identity. These include the struggles of Ayyankali, the powerful impact of Sanskrit on world religions and cultures, the potential cultural debates that could be triggered by ideologically innocuous games, the struggles of Afro-Americans and aboriginal people to realize their dreams, Tagore’s vision for India, generational conflicts and the complexities of modern life. Through reflective essays, short non-fiction and poetry, this textbook invites students to enrich their reading experience and refine their vocabulary.

A Textbook of Medieval Indian History studies aspects of the political history of medieval India and explores the socio-economic changes, administrative innovations, and cultural ferments during this period, with special reference to literature, religion and art and architecture. This handsomely illustrated textbook covers Indian history from the eighth to eighteenth century and analyses the development of Indian society and culture that led to the medieval mindset and in doing so locates the historiographical debates surrounding such an analysis.
