Description
This volume explores some of the images and philosophical concepts of India conveyed by scholars, travellers, poets and diplomats who have travelled through this land. The way in which these perceptions have influenced the self-image of Indians is considered. The volume is presented within a framework of self-analysis and a search for a more realistic understanding of what it means to be Indian.
