The issues enlarged upon in this volume have often been discussed by Dr Vatsyayan, including the interconnectedness of the arts and the integration of body, mind and senses in the Indian artistic traditions. She pursues the possibility of establishing linkages between the arts, education and the sciences on the one hand, and those between the world of traditional knowledge systems, cultural expression, indigenous languages, and the more structured formal educational systems, on the other, shedding brilliant insight and perception into yet another realm of scholarly enquiry that is likely to impact our understanding of the workings of culture, the nation state, education, and policy in India.

The essays in this volume raise a set of highly pertinent questions with regard to comprehending the complex issues that arise when plural cultures meet the monolithic structures of administration and policy that accompany the aspirations of the nation state. How does the nation state with its commitment to the quantifiable collectives of caste, religion, community and even culture, respond to the fluid and multiple matrixes of region, history, social identity, ritual, and language in India? The essays explore the problems that arise when shifting cultural categories are juxtaposed against the more rigidly constructed categories created by the institutions of the state. The issues enlarged upon here are those that the author has often discussed, including the interconnectedness of the arts and the integration of body, mind and senses in the Indian artistic traditions.
