About the Book: 

The canvas of India’s history, literature, science, and culture spans not just centuries, but several millennia. This book provides a bird’s eye view of everything Indian or simply the proverbial ‘omnibus capsule’. For modern readers who have little time to read eclectic sources, the ‘omnibus capsule‘ hopes to provide a comprehensive compendium about India.

The author is no researcher, scholar, or historian, nor does he pretend to be one. In this rides the strength of this volume as the approach here is not a didactic one, focusing only on research, scholarship, and academic interest, but is an applied, readable, and introspective volume, accessible to everyone.

The information presented herein is derived from an eclectic mix of sources, such as books, publications, academic papers, lectures, journals, blogs, and subject matter websites.

The manuscript has employed a combination of narration, exposition through questions, examples, and scenarios to whet the reader’s curiosity.
