Title:  The Story of India
Author: Michael Wood
Publisher: BBC Books
Year: 2007
256 pages

An engaging history of the subcontinent, emphasizing points of overlap, borrowing, and congruence between its cultures (as well as the inevitable conflicts). India is too broad a topic for one brief book, but Wood seems to have picked his areas of focus and events to examine well. I liked it enough to order a print copy and look up the BBC videos as well.
