Book on the general history of India

by Aduitrix

Hi!

Lately, i've been getting pretty interested in reading about Indian History so I was looking for a book which briefly covers all of the main periods so I know where to start looking more in depth.

I know it's a tall ask but it would be perfect if the book also had maps in it.

Thanks!

A Concise History of Modern India by Barbara & Thomas Metcalf is an excellent resource for the Mughal Empire through the present.

John Keayes India: A History. It's long but covers everything to the present.
