About the Book:

This book explores how Indians in pre-colonial times perceived their world, delving into their mental frameworks and ways of understanding their surroundings. By examining the cognitive structures and thought processes of ancient Indian societies, the author compares these with the perceptions of their counterparts in other pre-modern civilizations, providing a comparative perspective on historical worldviews.

Through this study, the book sheds light on the intellectual and cultural contexts of pre-colonial India, offering valuable insights into the unique characteristics of Indian thought. The exploration of mental programs allows for a deeper understanding of how Indians related to their environment, history, and their place in the world, and how this differed from or aligned with other ancient societies.

This book is a critical read for those interested in the history of Indian thought, comparative history, and the intellectual traditions of pre-modern societies. It provides an enriching perspective on the foundations of Indian cultural and intellectual history.
