A Book Of India

The result is an anthology which presents a brilliant and lively pcture of the life and people of India; her history; literature; religions; philosophy; and culture. Dr. B.N. Pandey, taught Modern Indian History at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. he had also served as chairman of the Centre of South African Studies.
