Volga Se Ganga (Hindi: वोल्गा से गंगा, English: From Volga to Ganga) is a 1943 collection of 20 historical fiction short-stories by scholar and travelogue writer Rahul Sankrityayan. The stories collectively trace the migration of Indo-Iranian peoples from the Eurasian steppes to regions around the Volga; and their subsequent spread to the Indo-Gangetic plains of the Indian subcontinent, while covering the lives of individuals living through different periods in history. The book begins in 6000 BC and ends in 1942, the year when Mahatma Gandhi, started the Quit India Movement.
