Michael Wood made a documentary on the history of India (6 installments, I believe) for the BBC. He wrote a book called India, which I assume is a companion book to the series (he did a series on the Conquistadors and released a book which was a companion book). I haven't read it, but the documentary was great. It may be worth checking out as a good starting point at least.
