About The Book: India Through Archaeology: Excavating History
Superhero action carved on rocks… Royal inscriptions on pillars and copper
plates…Glass fragments from a lost city…A headless statue…
These may sound like clips from a fantasy thriller, but are in fact objects
unearthed at archaeological sites across the country—and the stories they throw
up are just as exciting! This visually vibrant book has an interdisciplinary
approach that goes beyond conventional subject boundaries. Showing the
interconnectedness of ideas, events and issues, and cross-cultural influences—
all based on archaeological findings—it encourages a more critical and holistic
understanding of Indias multihued history
