Description: This book is an analytical study of Indian culture and society, with the chief aim of identifying the origins of the nation’s contemporary problems. The first part of the book is a detailed analysis of Indian art history. A historical survey of Indian art reveals the values of the total cultural pattern in a most vivid way. The family system (Part Two) is treated separately from the Social System (Part Three). Part Four and Five are devoted to aspects of Hindu thought, ethics and religion.
