In historical records, little was written about women. Most researchers back then were Western men, projecting a white male perspective on the past as well. One of the greatest blunders that these accounts made was with the Indian woman—she was thrown out of context, misunderstood, and misrepresented, leading women's history to be half-cooked, one-sided, and overpowered by his story.

The book covers all the major landmarks of Indian history from prehistoric times up to the 21st century—starting with the country’s geological origins a few billion years in the past and the migration of Homo sapiens from Africa into the region several millennia ago.

Lo que ocurrió realmente el 23 de febrero de 1981 está claro hoy: no fue un intento de golpe de estado, sino una operación especial para reparar el sistema político. Una operación con la que estaba de acuerdo la mayor parte de la clase dirigente, y, por supuesto, la institución monárquica.

La apertura de los archivos a partir de la desaparición de la URSS (1991) animó a los autores de esta obra a abordar una investigación sobre la influencia de la Comintern en el Partido Comunista de España, y cómo el poder soviético actuó en nuestro país.
