Answer:
IT is doubtless more important to change history than to write it, just as
it would be better to do something about the weather rather than merely
talk about it. In a free parliamentary democracy every citizen is supposed
to feel that he, personally is making history when he elects representatives
to do the talking and to tax him for the privilege. Some have now begun to
suspect that this may not suffice, that all history may terminate abruptly
with the atomic age unless a bit more is done soon.
Much that has been talked about India's glorious past, unhampered by
fact or common sense, is even more free than Indian elections. Discussion
eddies around obscure dates and deservedly obscure biographies of kings
and prophets. It seems to me that some something more might be achieved
in the way of charting the main currents of Indian history, notwithstanding
the lack of the kind of source material which, in other countries, would be
considered essential by the historian. That, at any rate, is what this book
attempts to do, with the minimum of scholarly display.
I am especially grateful to Mr. John Irwin for special advice in making
the book fit its avowed purpose, in choice of illustrations, and in seeing the
work through the press. To him and to Professor A. L. Basham, my
gratitude is also due for initiative in finding an English publisher. Mr.
Sunil Janah was kind enough to permit the inclusion of a few of his brilliant
photographs of Indian tribal and rural life, My thanks are due also to Miss
Margaret Hall for her painstaking revision of maps and drawings; and to
Mr. Semyon Tyulaev for tracing and photographing illustrative material
in the USSR.
Any claim this book may have to originality rests on fieldwork done as
a free agent. To those friends and pupils who have shown faith in my
methods and supported them with heart warming enthusiasm, I owe more
than can be expressed in a few lines.
