520			_aFor about a thousand years, from around the middle of the first millennium BCE, to around the middle of the first millennium CE, India was a prosperous and marvellously creative civilization. The unprecedented economic prosperity that India enjoyed in the first half of the first millennium CE was a crucial catalyst that energized the flowering of the classical Indian civilization. In Part One of The First Spring (Life in the Golden Age of India) Abraham Eraly unfolds a profoundly illuminating panorama, covering the political history, polity, economy, society, family, and everyday life, of an age that flowered luxuriantly before its inevitable decay. https://www.penguin.co.in/book/the-first-spring-part-1/
