Добрый день! Предлагаю добавить в раздел "История Индии" книги о Пакистане: /file/883223/ /file/651204/ /file/520204/ /file/471245/ и, соответственно, переименовать его в "Историю Индии и Пакистана", поскольку очень много смежных тем - историю Пакистана трудно понять без истории Индии. По крайней мере до тех пор, пока для создания отдельного раздела по Пакистану не наберется достаточно материалов.
Здесь явно не хватает книг известного индолога Р. Б. Рыбакова. К тому же, отсутствует конкретно-историческая литература о Махадме Ганди, Дж. Неру, Индире Ганди и других выдающихся деятелях постколониальной Индии... в конце концов, индология не исчерпывается одними трудами Г. Бонгард-Левина. :-)
