Descriere
In this comprehensive analysis of India's cultural patterns, twenty-two U.S., Indian, and British scholars address both the diversity and the unity of India's culture, emphasizing the spatial distribution of cultural forms. Their discussions range from literacy to literature, classical dance, art and architecture, religion, philosophy, diet and disease, ethnicity, and the urban and agrarian environments. More than one hundred photographs, maps, and diagrams are included.
