Praise for India: A History: A delight ... One of the best general studies of the subcontinent

Sunday Times

Ambitious, colourful and fascinating

Lawrence James, The Times

Certainly the most balanced and lucid history ... His passion for India shines through and illuminates every page ... puts Keay in the front rank of Indian historiographers

Spectator

A book that is as fluent and readable as it is up-to-date and impartial. Hardly a page passes without some fascinating nugget or surprising fact
