Abstract to the book 'India. A brief history. From the most ancient civilization to the present day' Zubzhitsky D.:From medicine to mathematics, from philosophy to astronomy, from literature to music, from Buddhism to Bollywood — for five millennia, India has played a significant role in the Asian region and around the world. At the same time, India had the ability to adopt and assimilate foreign ideas, which Jawaharlal Nehru compared to a palimpsest — an ancient manuscript that was rewritten many times without removing the previous layer completely. The book by John Zubrzycki, a prominent specialist in South Asia, briefly and succinctly summarizes the complex and dissimilar stages of Indian history."India is the oldest civilization in the world and the largest democracy. It is the center of the connection of East and West Asia, as well as a confident guardian of the Indian Ocean… Unlike the history of China, which can be clearly divided into periods of dynasties, such as Yuan, Ming or Qing, India's past is full of many centers of power that desperately fought among themselves. Even during the heyday of the empire, none of the three great Indian empires — the Mauryas, Guptas and Mughals — controlled the entire subcontinent. And even Britain could not make such a statement until the defeat of the Marathas in 1818. But even then, the principality states, which accounted for a third of the population, retained some nominal independence… It's not so easy to put 5,000 years of Indian history into a couple hundred pages, trying to reflect all the subtleties, but I'll take a chance on it."
