“本书是一部关于文化与征服、殖民与独立的引人入胜的史诗。它生动地再现了印度历史的转折点，并赋予塑造印度演进的领袖们以生命，从公元前三世纪统治幅员辽阔的孔雀帝国的‘古印度恺撒’Ashoka，到 Mahatma Gandhi 和 Jawaharlal Nehru 等二十世纪人物。一路上，Keay 对数百年来激荡次大陆文化的入侵与迁徙模式提出了独到见解，从‘雅利安’入侵者，到亚历山大的马其顿军队，再到

另外，如果有谁想读一本既有学术深度、客观包容，又引人入胜的印度历史通俗全景书，我强烈推荐约翰·凯（John Keay）写的《印度：一部历史》（India: A History，http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Keay）
Also, for anyone interested in an academic, objective, inclusive and yet thoroughly fascinating summary of Indian history, I highly recommend "India: A History" by John Keay (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Keay)

……1947年独立前后的那几年。那对法国作家搭档对当时英国人、王公贵族和平民百姓的生活方式的刻画，让我看得很过瘾。目前我正在慢读约翰·凯的《印度：一部历史》。又是一本不可多得的好书。
…couple of years before and upto the freedom in 1947. The way the french author duo paint the then lifestyle of the Britishers, the kings and the common man left me satisfied. Currently I'm slow reading "India - A History" by John Keay. Another well written book.

India: A History, by John Keay
……文明（埃及、巴比伦、哈拉帕）以及时间的演进（比如提到了罗马冒险家远涉极东的《厄立特里亚海航行记》）。优秀的中国史（费正清/戈德曼）和印度史（凯伊）彻底勾起了我的胃口，我想我得去读读达尔林普尔才能彻底解馋了。
…civilisations (Egypt, Babylon, Harappan) and the progression through time (for example mentioning the Periplus of Roman adventurers into the far east). Good histories of China (Goldman/Fairbanks), and India (Keay) had whetted my appetite, and I think I'll need to read Dalrymple to be fully sated.
……可以通过多边协议解决其南海关切，也可以通过军事侵略。此外，还有其他理论，包括现实主义和建构主义。---- [1] 约翰·凯，《印度：一部历史》。凯伊并不是科班出身的学者型历史学家，但他写的历史全景概览非常受推崇；我不知道他的理论最终到底立不立得住脚，但这是对该问题最好的表述……
…could resolve it's South China Sea concerns via multilateral agreements, or through military aggression. Also, there are other theories, including realism and constructivism. ---- [1] John Keay, in India: A History. Keay is not a credentialed academic historian but has written respected surveys of history; I don't know how well his theory ultimately holds water, but it's the best expression of the issue…
