History of India
India is home to some of the most ancient civilizations and has given birth to four major world religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism.
Stone Age rock shelters with paintings at Bhimbetka in Madhya Pradesh are the earliest known traces of
human life in India. The first known permanent settlements appeared 9,000 years ago and developed into the Indus Valley Civilization, which peaked between 2600 BC and 1900 BC.
The country was a part of the British Empire before gaining independence in 1947.

The Argumentative Indian: Writings on Indian History, Culture and Identity - Amartya Sen
India is a large and very diverse country with many distinct pursuits, vastly different convictions, widely
divergent customs, and a veritable feast of viewpoints. The Argumentative Indian brings together an
illuminating selection of writings from Nobel prize-winning economist Amartya Sen that outline the need to
understand contemporary India in the light of its long argumentative tradition. The understanding and use of
this rich argumentative tradition are critically important, Sen argues, for the success of India's democracy, the
defence of its secular politics, the removal of inequalities related to class, caste, gender and community, and the pursuit of sub-continental peace.

A Tale of Four Dervishes
Mir Amman
The Panchatantra is one of the earliest books of fables and its influence can be seen in The Arabian Nights,
the Decameron, the Canterbury Tales and most notably in The Fables of La Fontaine...Tradition ascribes this
fabulous work to Visnu Sarma whose existence has not been conclusively established. Faced with the
challenge of educating three unlettered princes, to awaken their intelligence, Visnu Sarma evolved a unique
pedagogy--for his aim was to teach the princes how to think, not what to think--and it was thus that these
entertaining and edifying stories came to be composed. The Panchatantra started travelling from the land of its
origin before AD 570, as a version in Pehelvi. Since then more than 200 versions have been executed in more
than fifty languages. Chandra Rajan, a noted Sanskrit scholar, has based her translation on the Purnabhadra
recension (AD 1199). While remaining faithful to the original, she breathes new life into the stories, skilfully combining prose and verse to give us an eminently readable translation.
