Sources of Indian Traditions: Modern India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh (Introduction to Asian Civilizations)

I think this is a great collection of primary sources. I bought this for an introduction to Indian Civilizations class and we had to read selections from the book. The pieces give us varied voices from different periods of Indian history. In other classes, I might have skimmed the readings (if I read at all), but I read these selections carefully and enjoyed the readings as well. Besides the contents, the book itself is lovely. Since it's a big book, it's heavy, so prone to ripping in half, though. One should be careful with it if one wants to keep it in good condition, since books of this size bound in soft cover tend to rip right in half.
