Aryans : The Search for a People, a Place and Myth

I cannot say that I enjoyed this book. It started off quite interesting with tales of ancient People and speculations about how they might have lived and migrated in response to events - the author painted quite a vivid picture. But then the author started delving into politics. Criticising the political atmosphere of a country - even though I get the drift - seems unnecessary in an academic reading. It seemed petulant, talking about recent political incidents in the country and dragged on for far too long. But i must say that the earlier chapters were fascinating and I'm glad I read this book.
