This book with over 800
pages, 19 multicolour and about 200 black and white
photographs and about 300 line drawings is well received among
the public. This commemorative volume is a joint effort of a
galaxy of eminent scholars from all over the world. In this
book besides Indian authors of eminence, luminaries of
the scholarly world of Europe, America, Russia and Asia and
His Holiness Dalai Lama have presented a panorama of India's
cultural pageant beyond her frontiers. The diffusion of
India's cultural immensity over the vast expanse of Asia and
other continents is a glorious epic of human achievement in
the domain of human thought and its expression in space and
time. Less known is the fact that Hinduism was spread in all
parts of Asia, and abundant traces of Hinduism and other
aspects of Indian Culture associated with it still remain in
various regions of the continent. This Commemoration volume
brings home to the minds of all, this long-forgotten, but very
important chapter in the history of Indian culture as found
out from modern researches.
