About this book
India Through the Ages presents itself as a popular and picturesque history of Hindustan, compiled from others' work without claiming original research. The preface explains that the circumflex marks the stressed syllable, identifying the only accent used in the text. The account calls the Mâhâbhârata and the Râmâyana imaginative sources, distinguishing those epics from hymns described as arising from a people's daily life.
The account of Akbar names Râjah Birbal as an intimate companion who began life as a minstrel. The discussion describes Akbar's promulgated Divine Faith as a somewhat nebulous Deism while acknowledging difficulty in deciding his personal creed.
