Image Source: IANS News New Delhi, Feb 22 : The horse is etched on the Indian landscape and to view the sub-continent's past through the prism of the horse is to be swept up in its power and grace. In this inspired and singularly erudite debut, "The Tale of the Horse - A History of India on Horseback" (Picador India), Yashaswini Chandra takes the reader on the trail of the horse into and within India. What follows is a surprising and exhilarating journey, covering caravan-trade routes originating in Central Asia and Tibet, sea routes from the Middle East, and the dominions of different sultans and Mughal emperors, the south Indian kingdoms as well as the Rajput warrior states.
