As a result of long debates among historians on the concept of antiquity and its periodization, the use of adjectives like 'ancient' has declined a lot these days and the word 'early' is being given more preference in its place. However, 'ancient' has depth, mystery and vibration. The concept of ancient India is a fundamental part of the past as well as historical interpretation with a multiplicity of ideas. Therefore, the 'Concept of Ancient India' connects the ancient history of the whole of India, or we can say South Asia, with infinite ways of understanding it. This book gives a sense of the modern history of archaeology and ancient sites along with the analysis of epigraphic data and placing the records in their broader context. It not only shows the confluence of political ideas and behavior, but also reflects the panorama of Asia outside India.
