The Chronology of India

The Chronology of India by C. Mabel Duff serves as a monumental, systematically organized reference guide for students and researchers of Indian history. Originally designed to bring order to the vast and often scattered data found in English and foreign volumes, this scholarly work provides a comprehensive table of events for both Northern and Southern India. Drawing primarily from numismatic and epigraphical records-which the author notes are the most reliable witnesses in the absence of traditional historical literature-this text provides essential dates for dynasties, political shifts, and literary milestones. The volume includes meticulously categorized entries with references to sources, making it an invaluable index for anyone engaged in deep historical or epigraphical research, while also offering a clear framework for understanding the complex timelines of India's varied cultural and political heritage.
