  Part of a series introducing world exploration giving the cultural, political and historical heritage of each land area as much emphasis as the discovery and exploration of the region by outside peoples, this book presents the whole story of India from the earliest times, through the periods of its invasion, to the days of its exploration by merchants and explorers. The book includes information about Alexander the Great as he travels through India, the wealthy Mughal Emperor Akbar and the European missionaries and traders who became fascinated by India.
