What is India? Is it philosophy or thought? Is it a way of life? Will we prefer to identify it as a conglomeration of population groups with different identities? How it has been understood over centuries? These questions are very pertinent since we would like to study this country in a very particular historical context, i.e. its status by the turn of the second millennium. India aroused as phoenix from ashes, securing political and economic freedom, which ...

Special attempts have been made to include the write-up for each of the themes that are ...

The available information has not been integrated to meet this objective. In most of the cases, the books which are available have been prepared mainly keeping in view the requirements of the curriculum having limited objectives, particularly in depicting the historical details. ...
While bringing out the Indian Ocean Atlas which contains nineteen multi-coloured maps on different themes ranging from physiographic characteristics of the Indian Ocean and its bed to its role in shaping the economy, trade and commerce of the littoral countries, under the back ground of their socio-historical past has now become a mouth piece of every individual scientist who even by default browsed the atlas and came across the maps included in the atlas.
