Synopsis This volume of selected essays on Indian Literature, theory, culture and religion aims at celebrating the dynamism of Indian imagination and the beauty of its poetic, aesthetic and spiritual expressions. While critically examining the total output of Indian Literature up to the present time, the author studies the tradition and the actual, the exterior landscape and the interior vision. He uses the history of the writers as the lost key to the door of our own existence and a way forward if the door opens and if we have the courage to go on. The Muslim Bengali writers who wrote without intruding their stamp of Muslim consciousness and maintained the model of secular humanism, dear to the human mind…the culture of authors and its capacity to embrace human activity in all its diverse forms… the traditional Indian attitude towards progress as harmony with nature’s rhythm is all dealt with.These essays written at different times and in different contexts discuss themes in relation to one another. Looking at the study of the sacred as a part of our existence, at the realisation of the limitless infinite in the finite, leading ourselves to the network of relationships, from a limited life to the expanse of the universe. The book will be of immense value to scholars and researchers in the study of comparative literature.
