About the Book

This Encyclopaedia covers the History of the World from the ancient times to the modern. Most of the earlier works on the same subject were meant for Western Scholars, but this has been specially compiled keeping the demands of the Eastern Scholars.

The book aims to relate in the simplest possible language, the grand outlines of World History, it has been divided into three sections. The section of ancient history has been devoted to oriental countries like India, China, Japan, Greeks and Parsia, it glorifies the contribution made by these countries to the History of the world. The medieval times considered to be the war period describes the grand wars like the Mangol War and the spread of Islam. The History of Western Civilisation occupies the greater part of modern history since it has become the dominent force in world today.
