History of IndiaFrom the perspective of places travelled through

This section covers some of the historical moments of India. A caveat: it is not systematic, and certainly not all-encompassing. It merely recounts historical times and events connected to the places I passed through on my travels, and only those which I found interesting. To some extent, this interest was biased by my nationality; hence the stories and incidents connected to Raj times. I also found Mughal rule quite impressive, though who wouldn't, with the stunning monuments those rulers left behind.

Unlike other articles in the Travels in India section, these are arranged chronologically by when they happened, rather than in the order in which I passed through the places concerned. This may seem a bit clumsy, though fortunately several times the general progression of my travels (and perhaps my interest too) was through places with a more ancient history to ones with a history that was more recent. Not always, but enough to make the order of the articles loosely fit my itinerary.

The following charts the articles in this section: their topics, their place in history.
