The History of India for Children - (Vol. 2): from The Mughals to The Present Paperback – 1 January 2018

I'm a student from the pupil ib 🏫 school. Since ib curriculum has a lot of activities such as creating a civilization and more. Me and my father are very interested in reading and learning about civics, laws, history, and economics. My dad has recently recommend a few 📚 books to read and it's related about history. The names of the books include: history of India by archana garodia Gupta and history of India by subhdra sen Gupta. So, after the completion of the history of India by subhadra sen Gupta, my family and me started to purchase Christmas 🎁 gifts for ourselves and for others. So by that I got an opportunity to buy the vol 1 and vol 2 book of archana garodia Gupta. And so the book is interesting and informative giving a lot of information and interesting facts. I highly recommend this book to everyone. Thank you !

the book explains the history from Moghals to the Present. the book gives good explanation with illustrated pictures. nice to read to know the history. good time pass book when you are having ample free time.

If it were possible to give 6 stars, I would, for both Volume 1 and Volume 2.I flipped through both volumes and found them fascinating. I have just started reading Volume 1. The books are incredibly well researched and written in an engaging style, so that History becomes fun. There are numerous photographs, maps and pictures. The writers are well versed with science, for example they discuss the R1A mutation on the Y chromosome, which helps in tracking the spread of populations.I was an above average student at school, but I found History boring. I wish these two books were available when I was a school student. These books would have completely changed my views about History.I think these books should be read by everyone who can read. I hope they get translated into Indian languages as well. They are incredible value for money and I looking forward to slowly reading both the books over the next couple of weeks.Congratulations to both the authors. You have done the impossible. You have made History fun for me.

Henry Ford said ‘History is bunk’ but for most of us it was the subject in school that spelt boredom and often brought tears to our eyes out of frequent yawning. But here is a book set that presents history in a manner that actually tells you an untold story. It is lucid, interesting with nuggets and anecdotes and makes you want to know more. Wow that’s a complete change of heart as far is History is concerned. The title ‘The History of India for children” –Vol 1&2 is a bit of a misnomer. Its interesting reading material for anyone who can read and understand basic English. As a matter of fact adults would find it even more fascinating. Hachette should consider renaming it “History as never told before” or something similar. A few coloured pictures may also make it more interesting in terms of presentation. Great work backed with a lot of research, this should be part of everyone’s library collection. An expanded version would be welcome since often you are left with the feeling ”Tell me more”. A must buy. Enjoy.

The book is for older kids who are deeply interested in knowing the history of India. Otherwise it might not engage them enough. It's more like a history textbook. Lots of info and narration is very factual.With it's simplistic narration style, adults who want a factual narration of India's timeline may find it useful.I wish DK would take this well researched content and make a visually engaging book. There is such a lack of history books about India with rich visuals along with comprehensive narrative :-(

A refreshing take on Indian History. Authors, Archana and Shruti, have condensed a significant amount of knowledge in these books. Its a very easy read. It makes reading history interesting. What I liked best, is that the authors have kept a very factual viewpoint; very difficult for many other historians.Also very much liked 'What in the World Was Happening' at the end of each chapter. While you are immersed in the details of what was happening in India, having this perspective of what was happening outside India is very useful.Another good thing is that its not a history of kings and queens; conquests and struggles; its a holistic view covering art culture, sports, literature, etc.I highly recommend this book.

A very informative and fun read. Makes history engaging and accessible for young readers - and indeed for readers of all ages. Filled with fascinating nuggets, it's also a treasure trove for History trivia buffs. I recommend buying multiple copies - for the kids and parents in the house :-)

This is amazing book !!! To know the history about our India and our brave soldiers who have fighted for india and gave their life !Children's should know about our india
