The Sir William Myer Lectures of Madras University was delivered in 1928 by one of India's most eminent historians, Sir Jadunath Sarkar. This book has grown out of those lectures—a lucid survey of the growth of Indian life and thought from the Vedic age to our own times—with a detailed study of the contributions of the Aryans, the Buddhists, the Muhammadans, and the English to the growth of Indian civilization—an interesting and clearly written review of the successive factors which have contributed to the composite development of the India of the present day. INDIA THROUGH THE AGES gives a wonderfully clear bird's eye view of a vast subject.
