The third part covers the period of the post-Gupta era, which was marked by the rise of regional kingdoms and the emergence of new religious and cultural movements.The book provides a detailed account of India’s ancient history, including the political and social structures of the different empires, the religious and philosophical beliefs of the people, and the cultural achievements of the time. It also examines the role of women in ancient India, the development of the caste system, and the impact of foreign invasions on Indian society.Overall, Ancient India: 2000 B.C.
