AMERICAN UNDERSTANDING OF INDIA: A SYMPOSIUM

The Conference of American Understanding of India was convened during the 'Year of India' in the United States, 1985/86. Indian and American scholars versed in a broad range of disciplines were invited to the Library of Congress in October 1986 to discuss and evaluate the penetration of Indian ideas and artifacts into the consciousness of Americans. The resulting papers on politics, humanities and social sciences are compiled here.
