This book takes us on a journey across the subcontinent and introduces us to little-known facts about India and her ordinary people.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe nine chapters in this book take up diverse and rarely discussed topics for children. The history of India’s Partition is told through multiple anecdotes of real people—like Deshraj from Punjab, who was displaced, and travelled across north India just to find a bite of wheat roti—the taste of his home. We read about language politics and how it shaped the lives, and indeed the contours, of the subcontinent. We find stories of the lives of those who work in tea gardens, on whose hard work rests a multi-billion dollar industry. Far-reaching aspects of India’s history are explained and discussed—the tribe that brought stitched clothes to India; how the British conquered the Ganga-Brahmaputra Delta and shaped riverine systems and trade; how and why wars are fought; how India’s first hockey team, captained by a fearless Adivasi, won multiple Olympic gold medals; and what it is to be an ‘Indian’.\u003cbr\u003e\nFirst published in Bengali as the Itihase Hathekhori series, The People of India is intelligent, engaging, and written for today’s children—those who question, debate, and are curious about the true story of India and her people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789363365315\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.7 x 5.9 x 3.9 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Speaking Tiger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50074424017200,"sku":"Prakash_9789363365315","price":479.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/91xUQi4EMRL.jpg?v=1756301029","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/the-people-of-india-a-remarkable-history-in-9-chapters","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
