The book tells the tale of India's search for roots and integrity, taking us back to the time of the Vedas and the start of Aryan civilization before concluding with a discussion on lifestyle. Each chapter is a mash-up of the author's numerous, insightful ideas. His presumptions about culture were shocked by the country's Partition. The Immediate Problem, his final chapter, offers some optimism. Reprint of a 1948 vintage.
