Embark on a comprehensive journey through the history of urbanisation in India with this complete revision of the MHI 110 course. This detailed discussion covers the entire syllabus, from the earliest times to approximately 1300 CE, making it an essential resource for UPSC and history students. We begin by defining urban history and exploring the Harappan civilization, with in-depth case studies of major sites like Mohenjo-Daro. The session then navigates through the second urbanisation, analysing textual and archaeological sources to understand the growth of early historic cities such as Taxila, Pataliputra, and Mathura. Further, we explore the distinct patterns of urban development in the Deccan and South India, with special focus on centres like Nagarjunakonda, Amaravati, and Kaveripattanam. The discussion also addresses the debate on urban decay in the post-Gupta period and the rise of new urban centres in the early medieval era, including Kannauj and Al-Mansura. This consolidated audio lecture is designed to provide a rich, layered understanding of India's urban past.
