Every Indian must read this book to know our glorious past and about destructive force of foreigners mainly by British who plundered and destroyed India. Author is an American and he personally visited India before he started to write this book. Thanks to Mr. Will Durant for his unbiased and true story of Mother India! Also thanks to Biblio.com for their economy edition for just $5.00 with free shipping to USA customers! I strongly recommend & request all Indian, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis to buy this book to know about our land and her glorious, civilized past. Thanks Ravi
