Recently, there has been considerable debate about what constitutes Indian culture and heritage and about how much diversity those categories ought to contain. Romila Thapar begins by explaining how definitions of culture have changed over the past three centuries. She suggests that cultures can be defined as a shared understanding of selected objects and thoughts from the past, but this understanding is often stripped of its historical context. Thapar touches on a few of these illuminating contexts, such as social discrimination, the role of women, and attitudes toward science and knowledge. This thought-provoking book is sure to spark productive debate about some current shibboleths in India's culture." - Amazon.com. 651 0 $a India $x Civilization. 651 0 $a India $x Social life and customs. 651 6 $a Inde $x Civilisation. 651 6 $a Inde $x MÅurs et coutumes. 650 7 $a Civilization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862898 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 830 0 $a India list. 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724074834.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E9327610214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
