Book Description
"It is being gradually realized today that the present civilization of India is not merely a development of the Aryan culture, as has so far been generally held. Indian culture is a composite product, resulting from the fusion of several cultures, in which the contribution of the Sindhu valley civilization has been significant. The Harappan civilization stood alongside the Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilizations as the early, advanced civilizations of humankind, during the Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods. Initial archeological excavations that took place as late as between 1922-1927 in the region of the Indus valley, have thrown up rich evidence of the existence of the Harappan civilization, but much study still needs to be done to arrive at a clear and scientific understanding of this civilization. The Harappan script has still not been deciphered. This book is a search for and a clarification of the various strands of diverse cultures that have contributed to the emergence of Indian culture."

Book Description
Of the civilizations of the ancient world, several have left their mark on history. The glory and grandeur of most of them are now memories of the past, but India alone of the several sisters has survived the ravages of time and preserved and propagated her cultural heritage in spite of military hurricanes and political cataclysms. Indian literature and art are eloquent as regards the cultural institutions of ancient India, which were transmitted to posterity by a sound system of education, and here lies the cause of the survival of India and her heritage. It is, therefore, interesting and rewarding to study the origin and development of this culture which enjoys and unbroken continuity till today. Such a study provides concrete data for the investigation into the human civilization as a whole. The aim of the present work is to describe and interpret the genius of India and explain her contribution to the world s culture. The author who is a versatile scholar has traced the origin of the Indian civilization to a remote past, through his original research and he has not blindly followed earlier writers, particularly from the west. He has carried on his readers with his conviction that the current of Indian culture has flowed through the ages, reinforced by time spirit at every stage, without being untrue to itself or losing its soul in the sweeping current. The work comprises two volumes, each dealing with an aspect of culture from the evolutionary as well as from the comparative point of view. The first volume deals with education in the fullest and highest sense of the term, the second volume deals with education in the fullest and highest sense of the term, the second volume deals with Indian Polity through the ages. The learned author has made an attempt to sketch, in the light of the original sources, the public life in India from the earliest ages down to the beginnings of British rule. The chronological aspect has been kept in mind so as to bring out the evolution of institutions.
