	Your Price : Rs 464.10

An authentic interpretation of over 400 Indian concepts and practices derived from a personal exploration of India over a period of 50 years. Arranged alphabetically, these range from key traditional ones such as `dharma` to more contemporary ones such as `secularism` and `democracy` to popular ones such as Indian films! `Padayatra` is a journey on foot and each selected concept and practice is treated as a stepping-stone in a journey to understanding what India is all about. Descriptions are based on personal experience maturing over half a century, and written in cultural essays that present the essence of the Indian tradition. Malformations of the tradition are explained but without polemics. The book is a sensitive, cultured and sophisticated introduction to India for an intelligent and serious readership, and will be invaluable also as a handy reference text for libraries, cultural exchange agencies, business orientation courses especially for those anticipating an extended interaction with India, and the like.
