Did ancient India witness the Great Flood? Why did the Buddha give his first sermon at Sarnath? How did the Europeans map India? Combining scholarship with sparkling wit, Sanjeev Sanyal sets out to explore how India's history was shaped by its geography-answering questions you may have never thought to ask. Moving from geological and genetic origins to present-day Gurgaon, Land of the Seven Rivers is riveting, wry and full of surprises.

A Rhodes Scholar and an Eisenhower Fellow, he was named Young Global Leader for 21 by the World Economic Forum. He has written extensively on economics, enviornmental conversation and urban issues, and his first book, "The Indian Renaissance: India's Rise After a Thousand Years of Decline, "was published by Penguin in 28.
