This book is about the glories of ancient Indian civilization lost through a thousand years of foreign domination and conquest. India was the wealthiest nation in the ancient world, known as Sone Ki Chidhiya (Golden Bird), and invaders came to exploit and pillage it, and steal its knowledge and wisdom. It was the cradle of human civilization, with all knowledge emanating from the Vedas, and all languages originating from Sanskrit. Ancient Indians made major discoveries in mathematics, astronomy, medicine, surgery, metallurgy, architecture hundreds of years before they were known in the West and written about in Western text books. Indians were builders of great temples and monuments such as Somnath Temple, Red Fort, Taj Mahal, Angkor Wat, the latter two Seventh and Eighth Wonders of the World. The book outlines the complete history of India from the Indus Valley to Persian Rule, Mauryan Empire, Gupta Golden Age, Delhi Sultanate, Marathas, Mughal Empire, and British Colonization. It also highlights all major Indian religions Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, and explains in simple language the Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas, Ramayana, Mahabharatha and the Bhagvada Gita with picture illustrations in color. This book is most suited to readers interested in ancient Indian history and religions, and to the Indian diaspora who will appreciate the glory and rich cultural history of their motherland.
