Description
Why India could not defend against foreign invasions’ in the past
centuries, is an unanswered question on the minds of most
compatriots.
This land called Bharata Varsha, had achieved the lofty heights
of greatness in learning, philosophy, and sciences, among its peers
of the ancient world. But then, somewhere in the ‘swirling mist of
time’, ‘Bharata Varsha’ lost its way and by the time it became
‘Hindustan’, during the Medieval Period, it was shorn of all that
plumage of greatness, glory, and majesty and rendered feeble, weak
and vulnerable to onslaught by anyone and everyone who dared. It
was sacked, plundered, and pillaged for centuries and its temporal
and intellectual wealth was carried away to far off lands by
invaders and marauders who came to own this land and then, in
time, called it their home.
The narrative about ‘how and why all this transpired’, begins
with this Volume-I. The total story relating to how the ‘Bharata
Varsha’ was transmogrified into ‘Hindustan’ and then to ‘India’, is
told in five volumes as shown overleaf.
These ‘Causes’ then, become Lessons for the Future
