From the Harappan era to Muslim invasions, the Great Mughals, British rule, independence, and present-day hopes, John Zubrzycki distills India\u2019s colossal history into a gripping true story filled with legendary lives: Alexander the Great, Akbar, Robert Clive, Tipu Sultan, Lakshmi Bai, Lord Curzon, Jinnah, and Gandhi. India\u2019s gifts to the world include Buddhism, yoga, the concept of zero, the largest global diaspora\u2015and its influence is only growing. Already the world\u2019s largest democracy, in 2023, India became the most populous nation.<\/p>\n
