About The Book History Of Medieval India is a book that explores the rich historical heritage of India during the thousand-year time span between the eighth and the eighteenth century. The book delves into a long list of events that took place during this period, when India experienced major changes in various areas. The invasions of a number of foreign armies, the multiple religious movements and the ever-changing political, cultural and economic scenarios are spoken at length in the book. Considering just how vast the Indian subcontinent is and the differences between each Indian region, it is an almost impossible task to portray all the changes that took place in this land during that period. However, the author has successfully presented a detailed picture of India and its history. The author has been able to do this owing to his keen sense of enquiry and scholarly style of writing. This book is an ideal reference guide for both students and teachers, as it deals with a variety of historical topics with precision. It contains everything you need to know about the histories of the Rajputs, Cholas, Bahmanids, Mughals, Marathas, the invading Turks and Vijayanagara kings, as well as a number of other historical happenings that took place during that period in time. The first edition of History Of Medieval India was published by Orient BlackSwan in 2007 and is available in paperback.
