It's a fantastic history book that is easy to read and compact for both readers and prospective students. The history of the cities from the Harappan civilization, Mauryan rule, the Sangam period, the earlier and later Deccan, the Chola Empire, and the Mughals is highlighted in this book.Effectively, the book is divided into nine chapters, and endnotes and references are given individually. The chapters have been meticulously crafted with important details, historical proof, and thoroughly investigated theories. Alongside the conversation, numerous images pertaining to the setting, essential maps, and a timeline of the main events have been allocated.The general public, historians, students, and history buffs can all benefit from this book.

If you wish to read about the history of the Indus Valley Civilisation and how the cities came into existence, this is the book you would need to pick.The book starts with the history of the Indus Valley and all the cities we excavated in the civilisation. The book talks about Harappa, Mohanjodaro, Lothal, Dholavira and then later talks about medieval Indian cities.This is a concise form of information about civilisation and how we came into the society that we see today.The book's portrayal of India's technological and cultural achievements, often surpassing modern standards, is particularly impressive. The well-structured timelines and city comparisons make the historical narrative both captivating and accessible.I have read other works by Raghavan as well and they all stand out. Research-backed and concise information is his forte.
