This file has certain scribbles made by me whilst study. Apologies for that.

Seven volumes of The Cultural Heritage of India are a masterpiece that must be read by every serious student of Indian Culture, History and Foreign Affairs. Personally I have learnt so much from each volume that have no words to thank Authors and the RKM Institute of Culture. If you wish to buy online, these volumes and many other scholarly works Amazon or Advaita Ashrama (cheaper) If you like to speak with them please call 91 33 2464 1303/04/05.
