Summary: The introduction says this is a translation from French. The Indian civilisation has been around for many thousands of years and to write a single book on her culture would be to create a tombe. This work covers just the time frame from 200BC to 700AD, considered the “Golden Age”, and if you take the time to read it, you’ll discover a rather advanced people for their time.

This book is exactly as the title describes, a look at daily life in ancient India. It covers the traditions, religion, work practises, casts, morals, ethics, manners and a whole gammut of other details that formed the life and times of ancient india, and indeed it’s influence on the lives of Indians today.

It is quite an interesting read with lots of details of the history around why things were the way they were.

If you like reading about other cultures then this book is right up your alley.
