In writing about the culture of a people, one has to give impor tance either to the historical framework and subsume cultural items under a chronological survey or to the items themselves, noting developments as they came, period-wise, under each item. Either approach presupposes a spacious lay-out. If it is the history of a culture, like that of India, which goes back possibly to five thousand years, the presentation is bound to run into several volumes. It is a matter of prime importance that young people should get to know intimately about the culture of which they are the inheri tors, otherwise they will lead a rootless life. Their aims in life are also likely to be superficial since they will not be nourished by the tradition in their own land.
