THIS BOOK Is an attempt to project some of the salient facets of India’s vast and rich cultural heritage.

PREFACE

I had long been thinking of writing a new book on India which could project its different cultural and historical facets in such a way as to enable the reader to have intimate knowledge of the country and its people. India being a vast country with an ancient culture, presenting a kaleidoscopic view, appeared at once challenging and difficult. It was after Dr. Shyam Singh Shashi, Director, Publications Division approached me for this assignment that things began to take shape and I embarked upon the difficult task of gathering from various sources material not usually available easily. After the compilation and written work was over, Shri K.S. Gautam, the Editor of this book was much helpful in making useful suggestions besides his editorial responsibilities. Shri A.A.- Shiromany, Joint Director also took great pains in supervising the publication at its different stages. My thanks are due to them. I do hope the reader will find the book useful. In terms of the proviso laid by Survey of India, the ‘responsibility for the correctness of internal details shown in the maps rests with the Publisher’.
