GS Sectional Test 4: Ancient and Medieval India

Product Details

This test runs from the Stone Age to the regional states of the eighteenth century, and it asks history the way UPSC does, less about dates on their own and more about which ruler, text, sect or style belongs to which period. Religion, society, art and architecture are tested alongside the political story of each age.

Topics in Sectional Test 4

• Prehistory and the Harappan civilisation
• The Vedic age, the Mahajanapadas, Buddhism and Jainism
• The Mauryas and the post-Mauryan kingdoms
• The Guptas and early medieval India
• The Delhi Sultanate and the Vijayanagara and Bahmani kingdoms
• The Mughals, the Marathas and the eighteenth-century states

Modern India, and art and culture as a whole, are in their own sectional tests.
