One may imagine sitting in a space-time vehicle that travels through space and time from Big Bang to 21st century. The fast- paced narrative will provide curious reader seed thoughts for numerous subjects. A reader with immense Shraddha, Samshaya and Jijnasa of Bhrigu's caliber would immensely enjoy this short read and will benefit from it. Bold ideas, unjustified anticipations and speculative thoughts are our only means for interpreting nature and history. We must hazard them to win our prize. As Novalis said, "Theories are like nets, those who cast may catch." Those among us who are unwilling to expose their ideas to the hazard of refutation do not take part in the scientific game.
Mangesh discussed the contents of the book with me on that Bangalore morning in early 2020. I found the discussion of immense value since I was, and still am, working on my book 'History of Hindu civilization'. I invited him to give short talks; he obliged and some of them are published via my YouTube channel. Soon, Mangesh published the book via Amazon. Subbu publications is bringing it for the reading pleasure of Indian readers. It is a short and efficient read. I hope it provides creative substrate and seed ideas for enthusiastic Indic researchers.
Social media is a powerful enabler and it brought us, Mangesh and me together, for the first time on the top floor restaurant in Bangalore. Without wasting time on formalities, we ordered some food and got down to the business. The business we had in mind was free exchange of ingenious theories, wild anticipations, and random talk on subjects within the realm of Ideology. We hardly talked about pleasantries or family matters. Frankly, to this day, we know little about each other's families. We were instant friends, or friends who had not met for a long time. The whole morning went by and we had discussed innumerable subjects.
The book you are holding in your hands can be compared with Upanishads. A seasoned student of Upanishads realizes that while their content is fascinating, they refuse to spoon-feed. Bhargavi-Varuni Vidya provides a good illustration of this approach. When Bhrigu went to Varuna, his father and guru, seeking Brahma-vidya, Varuna asked Bhrigu to do Tapasya; Bhrigu did tapasya and returned to Varuna to share his findings and to ask further questions. Varuna repeated his instructions, and the process went on through the multiple cycles of realization where Varuna acted as Upadrushta, Anumanta and the mentor. This is natural and to be expected when the subjects being explored demand self-realization, and other's realization is of little relevance. That is why whether one is studying Upanishads or Darshana-shastra, a student is rewarded with deeper insights directly proportional to one's involvement. It is precisely the reason why one feels, while reading Upanishads, that while Shraddha is apparent, the words truly stutter to express whatever composers of Upanishad are trying to convey.
Mangesh has captured his thoughts and reflections about civilization from evolution of life to human civilization. Mangesh is a mathematician and IITian and is well versed in numerous subjects. The bonus is his great sense of humor. His reflections and formulations of cosmology, evolution, culture, and civilization are akin to gold mine rather than jeweler's shop.

The First part consists of the developments that took place since India got its independence on 15th Aug 1947. This includes the studies of the developments in India vis-a-vis the policies framed by the democratically elected Indian governments from time to time.
The Second part consists of the time when India was invaded, till the time it became independent. It is said that Alexander first invaded India in 326 BCE. However, there are questions now raised about the very existence of Alexander and his invasion in many countries. In 712 CE, Mohammed Bin Qasim invaded Sindh & Punjab regions of northwest India, but he did not proceed further. All that ended in the British capturing most part of India and ruling the countries for two centuries. This part includes all the relevant events these invasions till the time India became independent in Aug 1947.
The Third part is prior to the time when India was yet to be invaded. Basically this is the history of Hindus. Most of this time period appears to be 'Before Common Era' (BCE) and the British rulers were incapable in comprehending the historical events due to the barrier of the language 'Sanskrit' used by Hindus in the ancient India. They conveniently grouped all the related history as well as the history related epics (such as Mahabharat, Ramayan, Surya Siddhant, Rigved and other Veds, etc, all being in Sanskrit language) as "Mythology". But is that all?
Does the History of India really get covered in these three parts? Surely NOT.
The efforts are made here to reveal the hidden history of India, which remained hidden mainly due to the incapability of British rulers of India, in understanding the events that were recorded in various ancient Indian literatures and also a racist rinsed to look down upon those who were not white skinned. And that continued thereafter and is supported largely by the Western world even today.
Let us see the findings revealed in this book and wait for the explanation' from the western world about very many goof ups that have been done earlier in arriving at many incorrect conclusions confidently.
