Does history leave you scratching your head? Does the endless parade of kings, battles and dates make you yawn?
Well then, this is the book to change that! It is full of amazing, often hilarious and sometimes baffling stories from ancient India. From the Stone Age to the Golden Age, India's past is full of interesting people, mad antics and unbelievable connections. From central Asia to Kanyakumari and ancient Rome to southeast Asia-ancient India was linked with the world in ways you wouldn't expect!
With quizzes, timelines and maps, and laugh-out-loud funny cartoons-the book truly unpacks ancient Indian history and tells you what we know about names, places (as far as we can decipher inscriptions), events and motives (as far as we can figure out!) and of course the strange things that humans do, whether back then or now.
Rohit Bhasi is a Bengaluru-based visual artist who prefers creating art the old-fashioned way, with pen, paper and memories. His body of work, inspired by the folk tales, mythologies and belief systems of local communities, is a humble endeavour to celebrate cultures and their evolving relationships with the world around them.
Looking at the ancient through a contemporary lens is how Rohit would like to describe his work in a nutshell. The human body in all its beauty and imperfections, and the human mind with all its potential for creation and destruction, are his greatest muses. He creates under the label INDIGORANGES.
