This study represents an attempt to investigate the cultural component of India-West Asia relations from various angles. It is an attempt to fill the vacuum in existing literature on cultural aspects of India-West Asia relations. It not only contributes to the cultural aspects of India-West Asia relations but also reflects the concern over some of the deep-rooted and widely-held myths regarding clash of civilization thesis and globalisation. Cultural relations between India and West Asia must be placed in a broad context, which encompasses the disciplines like history, sociology, anthropology, cultural studies and international relations. In the age of re-mapping territories, collapsing cultural frontiers and expanding hybridization of cultural identities, a remarkable interest in this mix has sprung up. This volume brings together scholars from different disciplines. The result is the discussion of a broader range of issues related to the cultural content of India-West Asia relations.
