- Summary
- "Anyone who is planning on carrying out research in South Asia or indeed anyone who simply wishes to understand more about this cultural heartland should read this book. By studying the main forces which brought about historic, linguistic and economic development, Professor Chapman contends that the lynchpin of this sub-continent's story is a geo-political one."--BOOK JACKET.
