Asian/Middle Eastern History/Expert Profile
Expertise
My areas of expertise are: 1. Ancient India (from the Indus Valley Civilisation to Harshavardhana) 2. Medieval India (from the 10th century Rajput rulers to Aurangzeb) 3. Modern India (from the decline of the Mughal rule to the Independence struggle) I am particularly skilled at dates, events and political history of these eras...not particularly with administrative aspects, though I can try and answer those as well.
Experience in the area
I am not a practicing historian/archaeologist, my fascination for history as a subject has led me to acquiring this knowledge.
