Description:
Can Indian civilization be compared to a “thousand-branched tree”? What are its major achievements, and how has it influenced the world? This book seeks to answer these questions while addressing the growing identity crisis among Indians today.

Michel Danino explores the essence of Indian culture, questioning its unique worldview, its interactions with other civilizations, and its resilience in the modern era. He investigates whether Indian civilization is merely a collection of religious customs or a profound and enduring force that continues to shape India's identity. The book also examines the meaning and application of secularism and tolerance within the Indian context.

The French-born author, who has lived in India for over three decades, presents Indian culture not as an ancient relic but as a dynamic force that remains crucial in defining India's cohesion and offering solutions to contemporary global challenges. Written in a crisp and engaging style, this thought-provoking book challenges conventional ideas about India’s culture and invites readers to reconsider its relevance in the modern world.
