Hi everyone !
have started "Glimpses of World History " by Jawaharlal Nehru.Getting warmed up to it having read 200 odd pages . An extremely interesting and unpretentious account of the happenings of the past in their corect perspective. I wish I had Nehru as my high school history teacher !

There is another good book:

title : India A History
by John Keay

I am reading this book these days and finding it very good as it contains very detailed history of our Country.

have come till 1933(page 720) (the swaraj aandolan is in full flow with various forces pulling india in various directions) and the book is extremely interesting...an eye-opener
....still a lot of it is left...shall comment later on completion.

Dear Amit,
This was discussed in few earlier threads, if interested search for "Nehru" in few sections.
