A Peoples History of India 2: The Indus civilization: Including other Copper Age Cultures and History of Language Change Till c. 1500bc

Size: 25x16.5cm, The Indus Civilization by Irfan Habib is the second monograph in the People's History of Indian series. It continues the story from the point reached in the earlier monograph, Prehistory. The dominant theme here is provided by the Indus Civilization. In addition, other contemporary and later cultures down to about 1500 bc, and the formation of the major language families of India, as discussed. The Indus Civilization seeks to maintain uniformity with Prehistory in style and framework, except for slight relaxation of the commitment to conciseness. It contains more detailed exposition of certain topics, and the explanatory notes on technical and controversial subjects at the end of each chapter are somewhat longer. Illustrations, maps and tables are included to serve as aids to understand the subject better.
