The importance of the study of the
history of Asia needs no special
emphasis, particularly with the
emergence of Japan, China and India as
major powers of this continent.
The present book; History of Asia, is
different from other books of this genre,
as it connects the ancient and medieval
with the modern. It deals with the
account of each country in its
geographical setting, highlighting those
incidents in neighbouring countries
which have had some impact upon it.
The ancient and medieval periods cover
topics like migration, early settlements,
formation of kingdoms and empires,
socio-economic matters, Islamic
penetrations and the advent of Western
powers.
The modern period is treated in great
detail, especially matters like
colonisation, impact of Western
civilization, the rise of nationalism and
the gaining of independence following
the Second World War. Current history,
which includes aspects like subversion
of democracies, the ushering in of
military rule, ethnic conflicts,
movements for the restoration of
democracy, oppression of minorities,
economic issues and the possibility of
nuclear war — right up to the end of
the millennium — has been dealt with
in a fascinating way, with maps and a
bibliography to stimulate the reader’s
interest.
