Book Synopsis
It is not common knowledge, even within India, let alone the world, that the current widely presented history and chronology of ancient India is not the one recorded by Indians, but rather a distorted version created during the colonial rule of India from the late 1700s to 1947. This book explains the reasons and the glaring errors in the prevalent Indian chronology and history.
The author approaches these errors with evidence based on years of extensive research supported by hundreds of references that are cited in the book. He discusses numerous specific examples of distortions of the chronology to provide a correct, continuous, and connected chronology and history of India from 3100+ BC to AD 1192.

The book is a valuable contribution to the historiography of Ancient India, highlighting inaccuracies introduced during the period of colonial rule.

A passionate history of India, taking aim at earlier colonial distortions. This is a very complex topic and the publishing team to its credit uses charts, tables, and photographs to bring understanding to the reader.

Anil J Mehta introduces the reader to a vast and complex subject using accessible language and well-thought-out arguments to demonstrate his points. The text is flawless. Clarity: 10. This book really deserves an 11 out of 10 in this area. Mr. Mehta bolsters his main ideas about the chronology using colorful, easy to read maps and tables. Mr. Mehta also has a way with words. He has a flair for stating his point using compelling images such as the one on page 8, “Restoring true history is like putting together a puzzle of a thousand pieces where each puzzle piece must connect on all sides, bound by the corners.” The writing is lucid and the style is authoritative yet personable. Mr. Mehta infuses the writing with his personality and passion for the subject. ... With years of research into India's chronology and history, he has developed extensive expertise in the field. I look forward to reading more of Mr. Mehta's work on Indian history

The History and Chronology of Ancient India is clearly the author's life's work. This book, though not a "beach read", masterfully chronicles and contextualizes Ancient Indian history. This text will live on as a resource for a long, long time for anyone researching Indian history with a more intersectional, de-colonial approach.

You have done a tremendous amount of research in putting the book together and I appreciate how meticulously you document your sources. You methodically lay out the evidence you have to correct the many inaccuracies in the long-held ideas of the history of Ancient India in a most thorough manner. While I cannot cross-check your research, you certainly have avoided bias in your voice and rhetoric. The many photographs, maps, and other visual elements greatly enhance the reading experience.
