India : A Global Studies Handbook Hardback
by Fritz Blackwell
Part of the Global Studies - Asia series
Hardback
Description
An all-encompassing and engrossing look at India—a land as diverse as its religions and as vibrant as its vast population. With a population second only to China's and the birthplace of Hinduism and Buddhism, it is hard to dispute India's central role in both the history of Asian culture and in the defining position it enjoys today.
Although India has grabbed media attention for its armed conflict with Pakistan, it is a nation perhaps more notable for its internal diversity and challenges than for a single external conflict. India: A Global Studies Handbook unites the geography, history, culture, notable people, and events into a wide-ranging yet concise work that brings this fascinating land to the page.
Of interest to academic and general audiences, this volume presents an uncomplicated look at the varied, bustling nation of India.
From geography that includes the Himalayas to a cultural fabric built upon the often-criticized caste system, India remains a land of mystery and intrigue. Narrative sections detailing the geography, history, economics, and contemporary culture of IndiaDetailed references on languages, listings of government and nongovernment organizations, and an annotated bibliography and thorough listing of print and nonprint resources
