Ancient India

In the present book the author has tried to write the story of Ancient India in a manner which shall be intelligible to all take who take an interest in Modern India. The author's objective has been to draw as clearly as possible the outlines of the history of the nations of India, so for as it has yet been recovered from the ancient literatures and monuments, and to sketch the salient features of the chief religious and social systems which flourished during the period between the date of the Rig-veda (about 1200 B. C.) and the first century A. D.
