Ancient India: An Introductory Outline surveys the major developments in India's social, economic and cultural history up to the end of the ancient period and the beginning of the early middle ages and explains the rise and growth of states with reference to their material basis. The book demolishes the popular historiographical stereotypes created by the Hindu-chauvinist communal writings. It also gives the lie to the view that the Indian society has been stagnant and changeless--a view which was propagated by Western scholars in the heyday of British imperialism and continues to be peddled ingeniously in our own times.

Early India: A Concise History

This book presents a lucid survey of major developments inthe ancient and early medieval periods of Indian history. It discusses issues like the antiquity and authorship of the Harappan civilization, the emergence of caste systems and the process of state formation culminating in theestablishment of the Maurya empire. The book not only underlines the changes in its social structure over centuries but also devotes much space to India's contact with the outside world leading to the enrichment of its culture. Moreover, it pays adequate attention to the transformation of India from pre-feudal to feudal society and to the discussion of the contours of feudal culture.

The book presents a lucid survey of major developments in the ancient and early medieval periods of Indain history. It discusses issues like the antiquity and authorship of the Harappan civilization, the original home of the Aryans and the salient features of their life, the emergence of caste system and the process of state formation culminating in the establishment of the maurya empire. Challenging the stereotype of an `unchanging` India and the myth of the `golden age`, the book not only underlines the changes in its cocial structure over centuries but also devotes much space to India`s contact with the outside world leading to the enrichment of its culture. Moreover, it pays adequate attention to the transformation of India from pre-feudal to feudal society and to the discussion of the contours of feudal culture.

Arambhik Bharat Ka Sanshipta Etihas (Prachin or Aadi Madyakal)

Hugely controversial upon its publication in India, this book has already been banned by the Hyderabad Civil Court and the author’s life has been threatened. Jha argues against the historical sanctity of the cow in India, in an illuminating response to the prevailing attitudes about beef that have been fiercely supported by the current Hindu right-wing government and the fundamentalist groups backing it.
