Art and Culture: Endeavours in Interpretation

This is the first volume of the Annual Series of Art and Culture. The raison d’etre for this undertaking is the absence of any regular publication in India encompassing matters related to some specific aspects of society in one volume. The contents of the volumes under this scheme will not be restricted to any particular period or geographical area. Moreover, the purpose is to encourage scholars to think and write in terms of social mores and values as far as possible. In fact, interpretation is the key-word. To begin with, however, the themes will be confined to: a. Cultural set-up and values; b. Art and architecture and c. Science and technology.
