The author meticulously examines the cultural projections and linguistic nuances that defined Europe’s encounter with Indian culture. Essential for scholars, students of Comparative Literature, Indology, and anyone keen on understanding the historical dialogue between East and West, and the impact on perceptions of Indian heritage.
