“Do you think Indian history is boring?
‘Check out what these ancient reporters had to say about our country many years ago’
Read incredible stories about India written by explorers who came to the country as pilgrims, students, traders, voyagers and fortune-seekers from the 3rd century BC till the mid-twentieth century. These visitors left behind fascinating accounts of their perilous journeys in an unknown land; descriptions of what the people ate, wore and thought; who ruled them and how; the strange animals of this land, and many more startling facts which are often the only written historical records of those time. This little book covers substantial historical account of India and its past.
