A Children's History of India

This one is one of the best books of Indian history which is narrated and written in best way..It has great illustrations and the way of language is so easy to understand. I did found this book in the library 3 years back and read it at that time.I was in 5th standard,and read it wholly. I didn't had any idea about history and got great knowledge until in 6th I got History as part of my subject. But after sometime I forgot about this library book,when I was in 7th, I remembered only its author's name "Subhadra Sen Gupta " I wanted this book again...and so I got my dad booked it again for my great interest over it. Now I have it...and it helps me a ton in my homework when I would not be able to read the lengthy chapters of my ncert textbook.

The content is super good , only if I have to suggest is pictures should be colourful for the children (guardians too) to like.. we don't mind paying little more , a broad size of the book, colourful pictures and bigger fonts can make it one of the greatest possessions.

Enjoyable reading of history. Very readable and easy to understand, covers all aspects of Indian history. What was happening elsewhere in the world gives better perspective, what happened when is beautiful summarisation. The suggestions to visit monuments and museum and further reading and watching films adds further.

Book was delievered in good condition. In time delivery by the seller. Thanks . The book- (n yes..it dosent look like a novel in any way!!) Is good and educative and intresting. Who so ever was not very intrested in history when in school or found it difficult to learn can read it. Written in a very nice and easy to grasp way. Im happy to have ordered it. Must read for teachers as it wud definitely help them in teaching kids better!! Ha ha ha

Don't get fooled by the title. You (people who think they are adults) might be needing this more. If you reside here or have interest in India history, this book gives an excellent broad look into it. Replete with some anecdotes and Did You Knows, it makes for a very engaging read. A book which will be enjoyed by a 10 and a 100 year old alike. NOTE: I did spot few factual errors in the book. I hope the publishers will correct them in the next re-print/edition. Eg.: As far as I know, the central hall chamber in which the speech 'tryst with destiny' was delivered is still that very central hall even now and that has not become the Lok Sabha. The chamber for Lok Sabha was always different.

I purchased both version of this book : first print edition for my daughter and then kindle edition for myself . The book is definitely very well organised , informative and interesting . I completed it cover to cover so that makes me eligible to comment on it . I definitely recommend it to all children as well as adults . The only flaw i saw at some pages that author making decisions that some parties are bad and some other parties are good in freedom struggle . I feel that duty of a professional history teacher is to present facts to a child in very detailed and interesting way but he should avoid taking sides as kid can make his ideology by listening to his teacher . I seriously believe that this mistake is purely unintentional and accidental . Otherwise ! A very interesting book !

This book is nice. The content is very good and covering the entire history of India. The language is simple and lucid making it interesting for children..Facts are presented in wonderful way and useful for improving general knowledge. Overall it is a good book.

The book was torn 1st page and everything was completely crumbled please don’t do this again!

The book itself is wonderful. The problem is if you're looking for educational material for a 9 and a 10 year old and the reviews stated that this could be used for that group. This material would be a stretch for 11-12 year olds, led alone the difficulty level that was assigned to it. I would say 13(+).

I have just started reading this book to my granddaughter and we both enjoyed it . The book is written in a language easily understood and laying out of details is in chronological order . I have bought another book as Christmas gift for my niece daughter.

This book depicts a completely one-sided, biased view of Britisih rule in India. It ignores the fact that the British unfied a country of 565 independent principalities into one country through the introduction of a unified system of law, education and communications. Less than 2,000 civil service officers governed the affairs of over 300 million people.

Used it almost as a bedtime story book for my children. Very well done. 10 years and up can connect while adults, ignorant of India history, will actually find a strong and entertaining way into the unbelievable history of India.

The best introduction to the history of India for anyone, of any age, approaching this huge subject for the first time. A fast read to organize further study. A great great survey if you need it now.
