Land Of Seven Rivers  (English, Hardcover, Sanyal Sanjeev)

this book provides us a new angle to look into in our history. historians in colonial time like max muller, vincent smith were not above doubt. sometimes they misinterpreted our ancient texts like vedas, and puranas by mistake or may be knowingly. because our ancient texts were older than the history of christianity. so, there came a controversy over validity of christianity. according to old testament bishop usher calculated that the gensis took place in around 4000 bc. but, in puranas, the ...

This is a wonderful book and has uncovered a number of untouched aspects in India's geography and history. Best thing is Sanjeev does not seem to have any kind of baggage, a typical historian might have. He has analyzed the facts very objectively and all the assumptions have been made on a very sound logic.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading 'Land of the Seven Rivers'. Every Indian especially one who loves history will love this book. It has given me so many facts about my heritage with great attention to detail. The places mentioned have been clearly enunciated and I hope to visit many of these places one day soon since they've been well referenced. I have also enjoyed gifting this book to many of my good friends.

This is one of the best books I have read. The book takes you on a journey of our own (Indian) civilization. Its evolution over the ages have been so well written and wonderfully correlated with the ever changing geography. A must read.

An absolute gem of a book. Sanjeev Sanyal has covered all major areas of Indian history and supplemented them with a bunch of less known but interesting facts. Apart from the actual content of the book, I found the notes at the end particularly useful as they point to some really good resources that could be of interest to anyone interested in Indian history. A great addition to any book collection!

This is a wonderful read. Brilliant work by Sanjeev Sanyal. I wish this book would be opened to a wider audience , especially in our schools. It is important to understand that history has many perspectives and that everything we have in our text books are not necessarily 100% true.
