The volume is result of a creative collaboration between diplomats, historians, linguists, archaeologists, literary persons, musicians, and researchers who are deeply engaged with the nature of the early contacts between Asian countries and how these variously impacted the socio-cultural religious fabric of these societies.The volume interrogates the complexities of an inter-civilizational dialogue that cohered largely around the themes of religion, language, textual transmission and trade. These as the essays in the book reveal, manifested in multiple ways, in art, archaeology, text and performances and helped in the creation of a rich and syncretic Asian culture.The volume melds historical figures, figures from myth and legend and living individuals in order to evoke a strong sense of how past relations between Asian neighbours--interrupted by the fact of colonialism--are now being happily revived.
