An ambitious book that engages with a region and people who have defined the subcontinent for over five millennia.

The great war of right versus wrong was fought here. It was from this land that Lord Krishna’s wisdom—the universal truth—spread across the globe. It is the cradle of the ancient Indus-Saraswati civilization, with the sacred river Saraswati, glorified in the Rig Veda, flowing in its full might across the plains and onward.

Kings and emperors used this place to expand and consolidate their empires. The East India Company, and later the British Crown, played their games here, manipulating and managing their colonial affairs. The much-ridiculed ‘Aaya Ram, Gaya Ram’ political epithet originated here. This land gave the nation a number of stalwarts of the Independence movement. And, it became the address for a cocktail of regional and national political manoeuvrings, impacting national politics in major ways.

In his debut book, Land of the Gods: The Story of Haryana, Arjun Singh Kadian takes the readers through a fascinating journey of Haryana which offers new insights and delightful nuggets.

 

Review

Brilliant young scholar Arjun Singh Kadian has gone deep and wide to bring Land of the Gods, this fine portrait of India’s often misunderstood state and its people.
Shekhar Gupta, Founder & Editor-in-Chief, ThePrint

Arjun Singh Kadian is a talented new voice in the arenas academia and public policy who is already making a name for himself.With chapter after chapter of stories and events, this book presents a comprehensive picture of this pivotal region.
Baijayant ‘Jay’ Panda, National Vice President and Spokesperson, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)

An ambitious book that engages with a region and people who have defined the subcontinent for over five millennia. The state of Haryana is now poised to shape the progress of a nation that soon turns 75. A must-read.
Dr Samir Saran, President, Observer Research Foundation (ORF)

Land of the Gods tells the story of Haryana, a state that, as Arjun Singh Kadian tells us, borders the national capital but often finds itself undeservedly neglected by the national consciousness. Kadian’s book is an attempt to remedy that neglect, tracing the millennia-old history of the region from ancient battles through socio-economic struggles to its present-day boom. An insightful book.
Dr Shashi Tharoor, Member of Parliament
