History Of Early India by Romila Thapar
A sweeping, critical survey of the subcontinent’s formative millennia that synthesizes archaeological evidence, inscriptions and literary sources to trace political, social and economic change from prehistory through the early medieval period; it examines state formation and empire-building (notably the Mauryan and Gupta eras), patterns of urbanization and trade, agrarian relations, and the evolution of religious traditions such as Buddhism, Jainism and Brahmanical systems, while challenging earlier historiographical assumptions and highlighting regional diversity and complexity in early Indian society.
