The first single-volume history of India since the 1950s, combining narrative pace and skill with social, economic and cultural analysis. Five millennia of the sub-continent’s history are interpreted by one of our finest writers on India and the Far East. This edition does not include illustrations.Older, richer and more distinctive than almost any other, India’s culture furnishes all that the historian could wish for in the way of continuity and diversity. The peoples of the Indian subcontinent, while sharing a common history and culture, are not now, and never have been, a single unitary state; the book accommodates Pakistan and Bangladesh, as well as other embryonic nation states like the Sikh Punjab, Muslim Kashmir and Assam.Above all, the colonial era is seen in the overall context of Indian history, and the legacy of the 1947 partition is examined from the standpoint of today.

„Ich bin der Pfeil, der von der Sonne springt, Und durch die Nacht der Zeiten schwirrend singt – Muth hier, dort Trost, und Allen Heilung bringt: Heil, wenn ihm Heilung ohne Tod gelingt!“
Weil die – durch einige Verbrecher, viele Helfer und unzählige Mitläufer – verursachte globale Katastrophe, für die „interessierte Kreise“, will meinen: Profiteure, Gesinnungslumpen und feige Ja-Sager einem Virus die Schuld zuweisen (wollen), immer mehr ihren Lauf nimmt, möchte ich – bevor eine weltweit um sich greifende Zensur meine Bücher nicht verbrennen, indes, in neuer, digitaler Zeit, deren Dateien löschen wird –, will ich, sozusagen als (vielleicht endgültiges, bestenfalls vorläufiges) Vermächtnis, das, was ich „zu Papier gebracht“, hier zusammenfassen, um es der Nachwelt zu überliefern: auf dass Historiker, dermaleinst, sich ein Bild machen können, was ich gefühlt, was ich gedacht, was für mich und viele andere in alter Zeit noch Sinn gemacht, was ich verkündet, unverhohlen, bis Gates und andere Verbrecher die Freiheit, unsre Würde uns gestohlen, bevor sie uns verfolgt, geimpft, getrackt, so dass mehr als die Hälfte aller Menschen auf dieser unsrer, auf unsrer wunderbaren Welt verreckt.
Durch den Wahn derer, die glaubten, Gott zu spielen. Die uns zu ihren Sklaven machten. Deren Verblendung Hybriden schuf. Aus Mensch und Tier. Zu eigenem Behuf. Zur Befriedigung ihres diabolischen Wahns, sie könnten Lucem-Ferenten sein, Träger des Lichts, obgleich sie nur Luzifere waren, Satans Brut, obschon ihre mephistophelische Macht der Menschheit nur Not und Elend gebracht.
Deshalb schreib ich – mit allem Mut, mit aller Kraft, mit all dem Geist, den der Herrgott mir gegeben –, auf dass uns das Leben der „alten Zeit“ – trotz aller Unzulänglichkeit – auch fürderhin erhalten bleibt. Und werde weiterhin schreiben, falls dieses Vermächtnis nur Zwischenbilanz, nur vorläufig Ergebnis, weil wir die Rothschild und Rockefeller, die Gates und die Soros, die Buffet und Bezos, einen Larry Fink und nicht zuletzt deren Adlaten – wie Drosten und Wieler, wie Merkel und Spahn – zum Teufel jagen. Bevor die Menschheit erlitt einen unwiderruflichen Schaden.
