Epic Tale of India<br />
India—along with its neighbours Pakistan and Bangladesh—is home to some of<br />
the world’s oldest, greatest, and most successful civilisations. Over the past 5,000<br />
years, the subcontinent has been home to a rich tapestry of peoples and cultures.<br />
Embark on a breathtaking survey of South Asia from its earliest societies along the<br />
Indus and Ganges rivers through the modern challenges of the 21 st century. Taught<br />
by Professor Michael H. Fisher of Oberlin College, these 36 in-depth lectures<br />
enable you to understand the epic scope of the subcontinent’s history.<br />
True to its history, South Asia remains one of the world’s most important clusters<br />
of civilisations, and it will continue to play an integral role in humanity’s ongoing<br />
story. A <strong>History</strong> of India is a must-have course for understanding this powerful<br />
region and its profound influence on the rest of the globe.<br />
