Journals and newspapers. "This book dwells on the articles, cartoons, poems, letters, and other writings which were published in the Indian press as well as the British press, besides Curzon's own speeches, books and letters. A single shade does not make the picture complete. Therefore, this book has used both the Indian and the British sources so that the picture does not look one-sided. Indeed, Lord Curzon was the favorite viceroy of the Indian cartoonist. This book constitutes a valuable record for students and researchers of the history and relationship between India and England, as well as for connoisseurs of the cartoon art.".

This book offers the story of Buddhism from its beginnings, in the life of Prime Siddhartha Gautama, his transfiguration as the Buddha and the metamorphosis of his vision into Buddhism, the religion. It continues with its migration to different countries and the development of a specific identity in each place, with ideas and practices distinct to each sect and school. History, fact and legend intertwine in the making of a philosophy that is the guiding light to three hundred million people worldwide. Deeply rooted in ancient traditions, Buddhism was virtually obliterated in its originating homeland, India, before making a comeback worldwide. Flexible, practical, and foremost an ethical creed, Buddhism's ability to maintain its core beliefs while adapting to each new environment, is the secret of its continuing strength and growth. Hence also the growth of Buddhist adherents in all parts of the world today - for this creed, they claim, has the healing touch we all so desperately need.No. 20331 310 pp.
