Book SynopsisTrade ReviewAn excellent reference book and is recommended highly for all collections. * American Reference Books Annual, March 2009 *
India, with its rich history, is a unique tapestry of myriad cultures. To encapsulate the magnitude of the history of ancient India from the Paleolithic age to 1000 CE in a concise dictionary is an amazing feat. Highly recommended. * CHOICE, January 2010 *
By any criterion it not only fulfills the aims of its creation within this series by bringing together so much material and presenting it in a readily assimilated form for audiences both within India and in the English-speaking world, but it is also a significant contribution to Indian historiography. * s, Volume 23, Number 7, 2009 *
A useful survey. ... Larger public libraries with strong Asian history collections will want to consider acquiring this title, as will academic libraries supporting Asian history and archaeology programs. * Booklist, March 2009 *
