| Summary/Abstract |
Indian culture finds its best expression in the literature of languages like Sanskrit, Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, Tamil and Telgu, as well as other regional languages. Besides being a treasure trove for the literary, philosophical, social, economic, political, and cultural history of India, they have been the torch bearers to humanity for the perpetuation of excellence. Written in simple and lucid language, the essays included in this book provide the background and exposition of the creative works attempted by the litterateurs concerned. The book should be useful for all those interested in the study of Indian literature in general and regional writing in particular.
