This book, India Through the Ages by Flora Annie Steel, is a popular and picturesque history of Hindustan. The word Hindustan was derived from the Modern Persian word Hindu. The region beyond the Indus River was referred to as Hindus, hence the Modern Persian Hind or Hindu. Added to it was the suffix “Stan” as in Hindustan or the “land of the Indus.” The book India Through The Ages is the work of Flora Annie Steel. The book explores India’s fascinating history from the ancient ages to the 18th century.
There are seven interesting foldout maps on: India to BC 231, India to AD 1000, India to AD 1483, India to AD 1556, India to AD 1707, India to AD 1757, and India at the present day. The author Flora Steel (1847 – 1920) was a prolific English writer who notably lived in British India for 22 years. She is best recognized for her various other books, primarily set in the Indian Subcontinent. Her works appeal to those interested in India’s history and culture. This book, India Through The Ages is perhaps one of her best works on India.
