Synopsis India the shapeless; India the formless; India the soul; India the spirit. India has found numerous expressions; India has found numerous faces. But the soul of India--the identity, the personality--remains the same; unaltered by time, untransformed by circumstances. However, there have been personalities, systems and events that have wandered over the landscape of this country and left an indelible mark--a permanent imprint--on the social and cultural ethos of the country. This book is an attempt to highlight the journey of India from ancient to modern and from an enslaved to an independent country. It presents a study of gradual evolution and growth of India taking into account the contributions of various factors such as Indian culture, heritage, thinking and socio-economic awareness. It analyses the contemporary socio-economic conditions that led to the emergence of Mahatma Gandhi and the making of Indian Constitution. It provides an insight into the culture and history of India. It is a highly original book, a work of profound significance and true beacon of light. It will serve as a useful reference source to academicians, students and researchers in the field. Besides, the common man who has an urge to know the history, culture and traditions of India will also find it equally interesting and informative.
