Early India From the Origins to Ad 1300

"Romila Tharp's great strengths lie in her stylistic clarity, her abilities to write as easily for a Western as for an Indian readership, and to communicate with the non-specialist while still meeting the exacting standards and intellectual agendas of academic scholarship. No less impressive is her patient composure--calmly addressing, while logiclly refuting, the wilder assertions made about India's past."Thapar, Romila is the author of 'Early India From the Origins to Ad 1300', published 2004 under ISBN 9780520242258 and ISBN 0520242254.
