## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Treat yourself and read this book!!!
*by D***N on June 13, 2025*

A thoroughly researched and engagingly written HUGE piece of our human history is brought to light, filling gaps and correcting distortions in a way that uplifts and leaves the reader breathless.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Wonderful Read About India's Place in World History
*by M***I on July 7, 2025*

Everyone has heard of the Silk Road connecting China to the West. Dalrymple shows that something comparable, as well as older and deeper, existed based in India. Great religious ideas (Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim) flourished. Mathematical innovations without which global commerce and modern science is unthinkable rippled forth. India may be on its way to reclaiming a central and influential place in the world order.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Plenty of Information on an underserved place and time
*by N***D on May 30, 2025*

299 pages of text and maps; 48 pages of color and B&W plates; 62 pages of endnotes; 34 page Bibliography; 2 page Glossary; 2 page "Acknowledgements;" and a ribbon bookmark. The book addresses the contributions to world history of India over roughly the 1st Millennium BCE and 1st Millennium CE. It focuses on trade networks; the origin and spread of Buddhism; the spread of Hinduism; cultural, artistic, and architectural interactions with China, Southeast Asia, the Moslem world, and, to a lesser extent, Rome and the Western World; and its contributions to scientific and mathematical understanding, particularly with regard to the development of "zero" as a mathematical symbol. The book is very well written, but suffers from the need to compartmentalize its numerous topics. There is extensive treatment of the spread of Buddhism to China, but that topic has to be treated apart from the discussion of trade with Rome or the discussion of Southeast Asian architecture. As a result, the book isn't a continuous flow, but, rather, a compilation of topics. I found the book's use of endnotes to be particularly frustrating. Endnotes are great for citations. They enable a reader to go back and either further pursue a topic or check the basis for statements. However, they are terrible when amplifying or clarifying text. The reader must stop the read, flip to the back of the book, find the note, read it, and then locate where he/she is in the text and resume reading. Footnotes merely require looking at the bottom of the page. This book makes extensive use of endnotes for clarification and amplification, greatly chopping up the read. There are a couple of footnotes and I have no idea why they were selected for this treatment as opposed to the many other notes relegated to the back of the book. I highly recommend the book, but be prepared for the division of topics and the use of endnotes.
