Itihaas: Indian History

Itihaas (इतिहास) means "history" — and this app is a journey through 5,000+ years of it, from the Indus Valley Civilization to Independent India, with a living map, a full timeline, and thousands of quiz questions, all built from real historical and geographic data. 🗺️ AN INTERACTIVE MAP THAT ACTUALLY CHANGES WITH TIME Drag the year slider and watch empires rise, expand, and fall in real time. Territory shapes aren't guesses — they're built from real historical boundary data and cross-checked against authoritative sources, so the Maurya Empire's reach into Afghanistan, the Mughal frontier, the Gupta Empire's true extent, and the British Raj (including Burma) all look the way historians actually map them. India's own outline follows the Survey of India convention, and neighboring SAARC countries are shown too, so empires that spread beyond today's borders have real land to sit on. Toggle map layers (political borders, cities, battles, trade routes), follow historical campaign routes like Alexander's invasion or Babur's march to Panipat, and tap any marker to open a full location card with related people, places, and events. 📅 A COMPLETE TIMELINE, ERA BY ERA Browse every major event across Prehistoric, Ancient, Early Medieval, Medieval, Early Modern, Colonial, and Freedom Movement India, filterable by period. Jump into a "Time Machine" for any year to see what was happening politically, culturally, and socially — or ask "Who Ruled India?" for any year to see every contemporary power at a glance. 🧭 EXPLORE DYNASTIES, PEOPLE, PLACES & BATTLES Deep-dive into detailed pages for dynasties, historical figures, cities and monuments, and major battles — each with founders, capitals, timelines, and significance explained. Compare any two dynasties side by side to see how they overlapped in time, region, and rule. 🏆 TEST YOURSELF WITH 5,988+ QUIZ QUESTIONS Quiz yourself by era or take a mixed challenge, choosing how many questions you want to answer. Questions cover dates, events, empires, rulers, and chronological ordering — including "which came first" and "how many years apart" questions that really test your sense of the timeline. After every quiz, a full review screen shows exactly which questions you got right, wrong, or skipped, with the correct answer and explanation for each one — not just a final score. ✨ WHY ITIHAAS • Real data, not guesses — map boundaries and the India outline are sourced from historical and geographic datasets, not hand-drawn approximations • 5,000+ years covered, from the Indus Valley Civilization through Independence • A time-slider map with real territorial shading for major empires • A searchable database of dynasties, people, places, events, and battles • Thousands of quiz questions with a detailed post-quiz review • Works fully offline once installed — no account needed Whether you're a student preparing for exams, a history enthusiast, or just curious how the map of India looked in any given century, Itihaas turns five millennia of history into something you can see, explore, and test yourself on.
