Ok, but where do I start with actual pre-modern Indian history. Any books/ authors that are actually reliable and not just some hindutava/ nazi bullshit?
Inb4 clitty ayrantards and jeetposters try to ruin an interesting thread.
>>17439258Probably not what you have in mind, but the Bhagavad Gita or Ramayana could make a very good starting point. Make sure you have a well-regarded translation.
>>17439489Is there some ambiguity around the ''well-regarded'' translation?
>>17439512Different people will have different opinions on what's valid. Many translations (especially the Bhagavad Gita) have been produced with an agenda in mind. Consider the source of who's saying what, and you should be able to make a good choice.
>>17439552Thanks for advice anon-sama.
>>17439732>>17439732NP. Also, an amendment: you're going to want the Bhagavad Gita, not the Ramayana, which is more of a fun story, and doesn't get into the actual ethics and social matters of Dharmic society like the Gita.
>>17439258Hate hindutva but likes pro muslim and pro christian authors?
>>17439258Pre-modern meaning what year cutoff?
>>17439258I like CKII so much, but I'm too bad at it and have never played outside of Europe.
>>17439258I've yet to play a CK2 or CK3 campaign in India.
