Summary: What is India's culture? This is a question that cannot be easily answered. And yet India's culture which blossomed more than 3000 years ago, has given successive generations of Indians a mind-set, a value system, and a way of life, which has been retained with remakable continuity, like enduring imprints on Indian consciouness, despite the passage of time, repeated foreign invasions, and the enormous growth in population. It gives to Indians as well as to people of Indian origin a unique personality today, as it has done in the past. With its mix of Indian cultural history, state policy analysis and philosophic speculation, this book represents a challenging and fresh look at the national cultural heritage and its relevance for both India and the world today.
