About this listen

 Did ancient India witness the Great Flood? Why did the Buddha give his first sermon at Sarnath? How did the Europeans map India?

Combining scholarship with sparkling wit, Sanjeev Sanyal sets out to explore how India's history was shaped by its geography-answering questions you may have never thought to ask. Moving from geological and genetic origins to present-day Gurgaon, Land of the Seven Rivers is riveting, wry and full of surprises. Asia Hinduism India South Asia World

Threads together many different topics very well. The narration was also very good. Kudos to Audible for bringing it up.

History and geography were never my favourite subjects in school, yet over the years, I have come to realise their criticality in our lives. This book perfectly marries the two subjects and gives us a lowdown like never before.
Our nation's history has shaped it's geography. The history includes it's ancient civilizations, rulers, flora, fauna and the climactic conditions as well. Over centuries, how these aspects affected our boundaries and lives is very interesting to read about.
A must read by every Indian-at-heart irrespective of the geography they live in.

The coolest geography book!

This is a brief review of the civilizations and their geography. although some geological errors exist (example aravallis have the oldest rocks in the world which isn't true because Isua in Greenland has them) but overall the book is informative

A thoughtful read
