Description
This book presents in an easily readable and interesting manner, in dialogue form, the way of the life of the people of India, their customs and manner, dress and diet, games and sports, festivals, music, dance and drama.
Though there are a number of scholarly books dealing with the rich cultural heritage of our country and its diversity, there is dearth of books which can acquaint our young people with the social and cultural life of the people of each state of India and their contribution to our composite culture. This book is intended to fill this gap and to present in a captivating manner the panorama of Indian culture.
The book will not only prove of immense value to the children but also the general reader who might like to be enlightened about the cultural traits of each state of India
Besides, it will be of invaluable help to the young sons and daughters of the Indians settled abroad who would like their children to have some basic knowledge about our traditional background.
