| Synopsis: |
The volumes of the project aim at discovering the main aspects of India's heritage and present them in an interrelated way. In spite of its primary historical character, this project, both in its conceptualization and execution, has been shaped by many scholars drawn from different disciplines. The period AD 300-1000 is often described as the Golden age of indian history. Phenomenal and all round intellectual advancement was perhaps the distinctive charasteristic of this age. Vigorous religious, cultural and philosophical pursuits encompassed every sphere of life. The art, architecture and music, dance and literature. Such activity resulted in competition that were never soulless or destructive. Indeed the central spirit was one of tolerance, mutual respect and reciprocal acceptance. It is interesting to observe that the rise and fall of dynasties and political powers did little to hamper the growth and activities of religious sects and schools of philosophy, art and literature, that flourished during the period under review. |
