This economic history of India is quite ambitious. Despite lacking historical training, the author sets out to explore Indian history from murky ”pre-Aryan” depths to the advent of hinduism, the muslim empires, British colonialism and independence. His notion of ”Hindu equilibrium” is developed in interesting detail in the first chapters with reference both to the caste system and to the economic and political conditions of early India.
