Here, innovation and originality in every aspect of human endeavor, from mathematics and science to art and sports, flourished. Yet the importance of this civilization, known as the Vedic period, has been deliberately downplayed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThoroughly researched and including an extensive bibliography, \u003ci\u003eFrom Bharata to India\u003c\/i\u003e rectifies this mistake in the perspective of world history and seeks to offer a comprehensive reference source. Author M. K. Agarwal shows how this early culture, where ideation by enlightened philosopher Brahmin kings, brought material and spiritual wealth that was to remain unchallenged until the colonial era. This Vedic-Hindu-Buddhist legacy subsequently influenced peoples and paradigms around the globe, ushering in an era of peace and plenty thousands of years before the Europeans.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy using original sources in Sanskirt as well as regional literature, Agarwal compares corresponding situations in other civilizations within the context of their own literary traditions and records to prove that Bharata forms the basis of world civilization. This is in direct contrast to the \"Greek or Arab miracle\" hypothesis put forth by numerous scholars.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe first of two volumes in this series, \u003ci\u003eFrom Bharata to India\u003c\/i\u003e offers a fascinating, in-depth glimpse into ancient India's contribution to the modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e M.
