A Students Manual Of The History Of India: From The Earliest Period To The Present

About the Book:- Histories of India, besides being voluminous, are costly; most of them are out of print, and thus beyond the reach of ordinary students. Many of them are only fragments—histories of peculiar periods or peoples; and thus reference is required to many works by the student who desires to follow the complete history of India in all its branches. The historical events of the ancient classic nations of Greece and Rome still possess a charm which time has not diminished; but the condition of their people has become altogether changed. It is not so, however, with India; and it is strange to us now to see Hindoos, who hold the same Pagan faith and follow the same customs as their forefathers who fought with Alexander the Great on the banks of the Indus, submitting themselves to a Christian nation so far distant from them as ours, and vying with ourselves in loyalty to our gracious Queen.
