There is one more old NCERT book on Ancient India by Makkhan Lal.
Here is the link to download.
The book which most of us often use for Ancient is the one written by RS Sharma. However, considering his ideological leanings, the book was taken off for some political reasons and was replaced by Makkhan Lal's book. Both the books appear to be largely similar with very fine and few differences in nuances which can be ignored insofar as the Prelim preparation is concerned. Both the books are rich in facts. This book can be used if you can't avail the RS Sharma's photocopy.
The treatment of South India is more considerate in this book. Additionally, there are a few chapters in this book which are not covered in the same length in RS Sharma's.
Chapter 21 - The History of Kamrupa
Chapter 23 - Cultural interactions with the outside world with special reference to SE Asia
During those years when RS book was banned, he published the same book with the help of Oxford Publications in private as a form of personal protest. The book can be bought online here.
