Review
"[It] is hard to find another anthology that matches the depth and rigorof the contents of this familiar classic. The reviewer recommends this book strongly as a text for advanced high school, undergraduate, and graduate students in a more multicultural United States, U.K., and Australia; the casual reader; the avid tourist; and the many who now are awakened to an interest in India as a rising power." --The Historian
