Indo-Central Asian Relations: From Early Times to Medieval Period

Due to geographical proximity and close cultural afinity and for reasons of a long history of exchange of ideas, men and commodities between India and Central Asia, a concealed chain of common currents of culture and fascinating flickers of similarities of ethos are noticed in numerous forms. A search into the inner reccesses of Indian and Central Asian civilizations (with all their distinct deposits of new and varied dynasties and their subsequent transformation alongwith their own shades of origin and fusion) had been long overdue and could indeed be a purposive venture. This book attempts to address some of the aspects of these longstanding close friendly and diplomatic relations.
