“To provide an understanding of contemporary civilization in India and Pakistan, the authors present material that illustrate Indian thought since earliest times.  The traditions represented here include Buddhism, Jainism, Hinduism, Sikhism, and Islam.  Recent movements, such as nationalism, liberalism, socialism, and the modern religious revivals, are also included.  The readings, which deal with political, economic, and aesthetic questions as well a religious and philosophical speculations, consist of translations from Indian sources, most of them made especially for this work.”
