Preface

Dear Aspirants,

Our greetings. We are yet again introducing a book on Indian History. This book is mainly prepared to give the candidates the necessary information for Preliminary Examination.

One may think that necessary information is highly subjective as per the writer of the book. But if one has gone through the process of preparation and analysed the question pattern, then one can say with high certainty and objectivity what is necessary for the exams. It is based on this process that we have developed this book.

The facts and figures in History are unlimited. But understanding what to know and what not to know makes all the difference between success and failure. These are certain basic and necessary facts an aspirant has to know to crack this exam. In this book all the needed facts are given in an organized way. They are not just dry facts. Some important events are also associated with these facts. This will help your recollection.

Care has been taken to avoid mistakes. Bring it to our notice for correction if any mistakes are found. We respect your valuable suggestions. We thank T.Prabhu, K.Nivetha and E.Bhuvaneswari and the content team of Smart Leaders IAS who have contributed immensely for the preparation of this book.
