India?s history dates back to several millennia. Between the Indus Valley civilization and today in India there are many gaps and periods about which little is known. The links joining one period to another are not always evident and a very great deal has happened and innumerable changes have taken place. But there is always a underlying sense of continuity which joins modern India to the far distant period of thousands of years ago. It is this presentation of India?s past which is the guiding line of INDIA: THE ETERNAL CYCLE, and which artist and historian have tried to potray with as much fidelity as possible. The illustrated book is a unique attempt to analyse and visually represent the history of India. The splendid legacies of a great antiquity and an ancient religion are beautifully potrayed through a fascinating panorama of paintings connected with India?s history and done specially for this work. The book thus affords a unique opportunity to present to the reader sumptuous and varied representations of India?s past which are rarely if ever on public view.
