The history of India in the first volume begins with the culture of the Indo-Aryans and not with the prehistoric culture of India. There is already a useful study of Indian prehistory and proto-history in the Pelican series (Stuart Piggott, Prehistory India), and there is no point in repeating the same material. The present volume covers the history of the sub-continent until the arrival of the Europeans in the sixteenth century. Hence the choice of the date 1526 as the terminal.
