Review
This book was written to interpret the ancient Indian civilization to the Western reader who displayed immense interest in the Eastern culture and way of life. The book tries to leave nothing unexplained. Basham has managed to cover all the aspects of Indian life and thought. The book will also be useful for students pursuing the study of indology. His translations of prose and poetry from Sanskrit and Urdu to English is also very commendable and engaging. As a sympathetic and intelligent introduction to Indian culture, this book can hardly be bettered. Number of pages:- 567
