Prime Minister's daughter releases her book on history
Kolkata: Upinder Singh, daughter of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and a professor of history in the Delhi University, released her book on Indian history in Kolkata. Addressing the gathering, Upinder
Singh attributed her success to the support she received from her family. "The
fact that he (Manmohan Singh) has an academic background and the academics are
valued in our family. Both had certainly made a difference to a kind of person
I am today," she said. She added that her book would help the reader to visualize
and understand the rich and varied remains of the Indian subcontinent's ancient
past. Upinder's new book 'A History of Ancient and Early Medieval India from Stone
Age to the 12th Century' is a comprehensive book meant for students and general
readers. The book had taken five years for her to complete and offers an exhaustive
overview of the subject. The book has over 350 photographs, maps, drawings and
sketches.
