Book Review

“A to Z of Indian History” by Archana Garodia Gupta and Shruti Garodia is a delightful read because history never looks easy to read. The simplified A–Z style divides the heavy history content into manageable chunks that are easy to learn at any time. The book feels vibrant and different from a standard textbook because of its colourful pages, pictures, and entertaining fact boxes.

It strikes a balance between amusing information and simple explanations—facts like muslin fitting inside a snuffbox pique intrigue, while issues like Ashokan pillars and Ellora are explained clearly. Though the brief format gives only part of the information, the book injects interest and makes the reading intriguing.
