Description
The cultural contacts between India, Central Asia and Russia go back hundreds of years. Recent excavations and researches have brought to light links from Buddhist times to medieval ages and later. This acquaintance of the two countries has been a journey of mutual discoveries. Indo-Uzbek, Indi-Tajik, Indo-Armenian and Indi-Azerbaijan relations serve as a testimony to these contacts of friendship and cooperation.
This book is an attempt to reveal the basics of the USSR school of oriental studies as well as to appreciate, at its true value, its contribution to world Indology. Besides, this book aims at summing up in general terms the path traversed by Indology in the USSR.
Another abiding merit of the book lies in the evidence it has brought forth to show the wholesome effect such studies have had in promoting understanding between our two peoples and in bringing writers, poets, scholars, artists, and common people in both the countries closer to each other.
