Description
From the bestselling author of The Sword of Tipu Sultan comes a sweeping epic about the Aryans.
In a remarkable feat of imagination and research, Bhagwan S. Gidwani takes us back to the dawn of civilization (8000 BCE) to vividly recreate the world of the Aryans. He tells us why the Aryans left India—their native land—for foreign shores and shows us their triumphant return to their homeland.
Here are characters like the gentle god, Sindhu Putra, spreading his message of love; the hermit, Bharat, who inspired the dream of unity, equality, human rights and dignity for all; the physician–sage Dhanawantar and his wife, Dhanawantari; peace-loving Kashi after whom the holy city of Varanasi is named; and Nila who gave his name to the river Nile.
Vast and absorbing, with a cast of thousands, The March of the Aryans is a gripping tale of kings and poets, seers and gods, battles and romance, and the rise and fall of civilizations, from the bestselling author of The Sword of Tipu Sultan.
