Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of India India is inhabited by various races, who entered the country at different periods Of time and from different directions. The black Dravidians, inhabiting the Deccan and Southern India, came from the east at some early period long before the begin ning of history. The Mongolians, inhabiting the north-eastern corners Of India, came from Mongolia and China through Tibet and the south-eastern provinces of the Chinese empire. Aryans - The Aryans, who form the vast majority Of the in uential classes, entered India from the west, at a time esti mated at from 4000 b.c. To 1500 The Shemitic races came in the train Of Muhammadan conquest from the west. From beyond the north-western corner Of India, at various periods of Indian history, there came men Of various races. None of these was very numerous. Those who came first have merged into the Aryan population, but those who came later can still be traced as distinct. And, last of all, within the last four hundred years, came the Aryan races from Europe by sea. In the beginning, commerce was their great Object but they all strove for supremacy by sea and by land. None, however, achieved so marked a success as the British. Dravidians. - Oi the history Of the Dravidian races we know almost nothing. Scholars think that they were the earliest settlers in India. The vast majority have adopted Aryan civilization, and the rest are still to be found everywhere in hills and jungles in Central and Southern India. But they seem to have had their last kingdoms in the extreme south of India, in the Pandya and Kerala countries, where property descends not to the son but to the daughter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief History of the Indian Peoples How Hinduism, while sufficing to organize the Indian communities into a social and religious confederacy, failed to knit them together into a coherent nation. Bengal was destined, by her position, to receive the human overflow from the ancient breeding-grounds of Central Asia. Waves of conquest from the north were as inevitable in early times, as are the tidal waves from the ocean at the present day. But such conquests, although rapid, were never enduring; and although wide-spread, were never complete. The religious and social organization of Hinduism never succumbed. The greatest of India's conquerors, the Mughals, were being crushed by Hindu confederacies before their supremacy had lasted 130 years. So far as can now be estimated, the advance of the British power alone saved the Delhi Empire from dismemberment by the Hindu Marhattas, Rajputs, and Sikhs. The British Rule has endured, because it is wielded in the joint interest of all the Indian races. But while these thoughts have long been present in my mind, I have tried not to obtrude them on my pages. For I hope that this little book will reach the hands of many young people who look on history merely as a record of facts, and not as a compendium of philosophy. The greatest service which an Indian historian can render at present to India, is to state the actual facts in such a way that they will be read. If my story is found to combine truth with simplicity, it will have attained all that I aimed at. If it teaches young Englishmen and young natives of India to think more kindly of each other, I shall esteem myself richly rewarded.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of India The rise of Mohammed and the spread of Islam were events fraught with momentous consequences for the East and for the history of the world. India came in for her share in the changes thus brought about and was subjected to the religious and political sway of this great movement whose impulse she first felt in the eighth century of the Christian era. So important in general and so far-reaching were the influences exerted that few readers will object to the fact that three vol umes of the present series are devoted to this period of Indian history which is commonly designated as the Mediaeval Period.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Student's Manual of the History of India To MY readers. - I have been induced to write this Manual of the History of India to supply a want which I have ob served to exist among aii ciasses or' English people. Most of' my young friends tell me they are never taught anything about India; and while I deplore this, I also see that many persons of mature age are deterred by their length, and other causes, from attempting the perusal of the larger Indian his tories. It occurred to me, therefore, that a complete, but easy history, might be acceptable and useful to all; andi was the more led to this consideration from my own expe rience; for I do not know of any work from Which enough can be learned without difficulty - either to satisfy present requirements, or to induce a more general study. The large Histories of India, besides being voluminous, are costly; most of them are out of print, and thus beyond the reach of ordi nary students. Many of them are only fi'agments - histories of peculiar periods or peoples; and thus reference is required to many works by the student who desires to follow the oom plete history of India in all its branches.

This prefatory note is written on the eve of my departure for the third time to the Orient, and as I look back over the long ages of India's history and its position in Asia, I can but be struck by the thought of the ever-increasing interest in the East felt by the West, and the growing importance of a knowledge of the great historic nations of the Land of the Dawn.

Every investigator must before all things look upon himself as one who is summoned to serve on a jury. He has only to consider how far the statement Of the case is complete and clearly set forth by the evidence. Then he draws his conclusion and gives his vote, whether it be that his Opinion coincides with that Of the foreman or not.

But they have been years that may well count for decades in the history of the world, and not least in the history of India. Much has happened in India to confirm many of the views which I then expressed. Much has happened also to lead me to modify others, and to recognise more clearly to-day the shortcomings of a system of government, in many ways unrivalled, but subject to the inevitable limitations of alien rule.

This book was released on 2017-06-23 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of India From the Earliest Ages, Vol. 1 More than a century has passed away since the rise Of British ascendancy in India, and yet a history which should combine a tolerably exhaustive review of the religion and civilization of the Hindus, together with an exposition of the policy which has hitherto guided the British Govern ment in its dealings with Native powers, is still a deside ratum in European literature. Accordingly this task has been attempted during a residence of some years in the country, under circumstances peculiarly favourable to its accomplishment; and in announcing the early publication of the first three volumes, it seems desirable to indicate the general character and scope of the entire work. The materials for the History of India may be indicated under three distinct heads, viz. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 774 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of India and of the Frontier States of Afghanistan, Nipal, and Burma IT is a common complaint that whilst the annals of India. Are of paramount immrtance to the people of England, there is no history which they seem less inclined to study. Greece and Rome, Egypt and Palestine, Assyria and Babylon - countries which have long ceased to play a part in the drama. Of humanity - are the subjects of text-books in our schools and universities; whilst India, which is literally a modern reflex of the ancient world, and has moreover become a part and parcel of the British empire, is to this day a sealed book to the masses. The essays of Lord Macaulay on Robert Clive and Warren Hastings are perhaps known to every English household; but they refer to mere episodes in the history, and are wanting in that familiarity with native character and forms of thought, which is essential to a right appreciation of the great collision between Europe and Asia that has been going on in India for the last two centuries.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of India, Vol. 7: By Its the Muhammadan The present Volume contains the history of the reigns of Shah-Jahan, Aurangzeb, Bahadur Shah, Jahandar Shah, and Farrukh-Siyar, of the little brief authority of Rafi'u-d Daula and Rafi'u-d Darajat, and of the early years of the reign of Muhammad Shah. Several works hitherto unknown to the European reader are here brought to notice. The history of the reign of Shah Jahan is derived from the Badshah-nama of 'Abdu-l Hamid and from other Badshah-namas and Shah-Jahan-namas. The special works relating to the reign of Aurangzeb have been examined and the most interesting passages translated; but the history of his long rule, and of the subsequent times which appear in this Volume, has been derived from the great work of Khafi Khan, a contemporary history of high and well-deserved repute. This important history is well known at second-hand. All European historians of the period which it covers have been greatly indebted, directly or indirectly, to its pages. Elphinstone and Grant Duff used it, and they refer to a MS. translation by "Major Gordon, of the Madras Army."
