Unlock the story of India's earliest civilizations and how they shaped a vast subcontinent.
Prehistoric India presents a concise, accessible account of the subcontinent from the earliest times to the rise of Aryan settlement in the northwest. It gathers current knowledge and interprets it as a working map of the cultural sequence that formed the foundation of later history. The author blends new material with a broad synthesis to offer a coherent narrative for the general reader, while acknowledging the ongoing debate among specialists.
Readers will encounter the Harappa and Mohenjo-daro cities, questions about agriculture and domesticated animals, and the beginnings of long-distance exchange. The book also looks at artifacts, script, and the methods scholars use to reconstruct a prehistoric world largely without written records.
Ideal for readers of history and archaeology who want a clear, well-grounded overview of India before written history.

The book goes beyond a simple chronological account, investigating the profound impact of climate change on early human societies, and revealing how India's unique geographic position contributed to the development of distinct cultures. In particular, the author explores the impact of the Soan and Madras cultures, two distinct groups that represent different tool-making traditions and possibly different stages in human evolution.
