Cultural interface of India with Asia religion, art and architecture
The reality of the Indian presence in Asian cultures is undeniable. Recent scholarship in Asian cultural studies has emphasized the essential oneness of the substratum that defines Asian identity. Buddhism and Hinduism, originating in India, travelled beyond their homeland and profoundly shaped the beliefs and faith of people across Asia. Trade, political ambitions, and religious pursuits facilitated the dissemination of Indian ‘ideas’ and ‘forms’ throughout the continent. In every region touched by Indian influence, local adaptation of Indian traditions merged with indigenous practices to create new idioms of expression and localized identities.
This volume brings together scholarly papers highlighting India's contribution to Asian cultures. It includes perspectives from experts across India, Nepal, Tibet, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia, Mongolia, China, Korea, Japan, Belgium, Bulgaria, and the United Kingdom. Emerging from a major seminar held at the National Museum Institute in collaboration with the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR), New Delhi, the collection showcases both Indian and Eurasian viewpoints on India’s pivotal role in shaping the Asian cultural matrix.
