Must Read for All: Historians to Engineers, Doctors to Administrators, Students to Senior Citizens
Enjoyable reading of history. Very readable and easy to understand, covers all aspects of Indian history. What was happening elsewhere in the world gives better perspective, what happened when is beautiful summarisation. The suggestions to visit monuments and museum and further reading and watching films adds further.

Good Buy
The content is super good , only if I have to suggest is pictures should be colourful for the children (guardians too) to like.. we don't mind paying little more , a broad size of the book, colourful pictures and bigger fonts can make it one of the greatest possessions.

A book,which is the first step to love history
This one is one of the best books of Indian history which is narrated and written in best way..It has great illustrations and the way of language is so easy to understand. I did found this book in the library 3 years back and read it at that time.I was in 5th standard,and read it wholly. I didn't had any idea about history and got great knowledge until in 6th I got History as part of my subject. But after sometime I forgot about this library book,when I was in 7th, I remembered only its author's name "Subhadra Sen Gupta " I wanted this book again...and so I got my dad booked it again for my great interest over it. Now I have it...and it helps me a ton in my homework when I would not be able to read the lengthy chapters of my ncert textbook.

A must read for all the ages
Don't get fooled by the title. You (people who think they are adults) might be needing this more. If you reside here or have interest in India history, this book gives an excellent broad look into it. Replete with some anecdotes and Did You Knows, it makes for a very engaging read. A book which will be enjoyed by a 10 and a 100 year old alike. NOTE: I did spot few factual errors in the book. I hope the publishers will correct them in the next re-print/edition. Eg.: As far as I know, the central hall chamber in which the speech 'tryst with destiny' was delivered is still that very central hall even now and that has not become the Lok Sabha. The chamber for Lok Sabha was always different.
