About the Author
The author, Pranav Bagur Jagadeesha, is a history major. The many ethical faults made by Indian historians in the past and his interest in ancient history and the connections between different civilizations, inspire the idea of the book. One of the ways, the author expresses his connection to history is by writing this very book. His quotations are another method of communicating his ideas. "History is the backbone of culture; without culture, no discipline; without discipline, one is similar to garbage. "History is like an ocean; the deeper you go, the darker it gets!" Thank you!
