The book until now has connected a lot of dots for me between current age Hindu practices and their origin in early Aryan society (in 3000 BC). The details of political history have been very dry which could have been made interesting but the details of social lives have been very rich with perspective from the writer.

Just read a very detailed and thorough account of Gupta dynasty and independent kingdoms that rose after it. In these pages, the book also talked about various foreign invasions in India and gives interesting account of incidents during that time - with few details of the sources - mostly inscriptions.

Completed the second part of the book which covers the period from 600 BC to 300 AD. A lot of things makes sense now. For example, historians have found evidence in favour of existence of a historical figure named Krishna who wrote Bhagvad Gita and the description of influence on Buddhism on Indian life was fascinating to read.

The last chapter I read talked about political scene after the fall of Magadha empire which was exactly the point since when my idea of history was blurred. It is clearer but still blurred.
