Publisher's Synopsis
Starting with Mahmud of Ghazni's first expedition into India. The Indian Millennium: AD 1000-2001 covers the eventful years of the last millennium during which the subcontinent saw the rise and fall of two of the greatest empires in the world (the Mughal and the British); the birth and flourishing of at least one major religion (Sikhism); the setting up of the world's largest railway network; and the launching of sophistical satellites into space.
