Description
India: Vedic and Post-Vedic by J. Talboys Wheeler is a historical account that explores ancient Indian civilization, focusing on the Vedic period and its aftermath. Wheeler attempts to interpret early Indian religious texts, such as the Vedas, within a historical framework. Written from a colonial British perspective, the book seeks to trace the development of Indian society, religion, and governance. While informative for its time, it has been critiqued for its Eurocentric bias and limited understanding of indigenous traditions.
