Synopsis: Since 1958 Sources of Indian Tradition has been one of the most important and widely used texts on civilization in South Asia (now the nation-states of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal). It has helped generations of students and lay readers understand how leading thinkers there have looked at life, the traditions of their ancestors, and the world they live in.

A history of Indian culture delivered via detailed explanation and reasoning of the importance of passages and how they fit into the grand scheme. The books major theme is the intellectual history of the subcontinent of South Asia. The layout of the book is consistent; having first a background, then a short explanation of some historic text, and the actual (translated) text. It is very interesting to see how the Indian philosophy has progressed. In terms of the overall coverage of the philosophy provided, it goes from property rights to what is knowledge. India's culture provides many insightful wisdoms. (

It's a little commentary, but mostly primary source documents, which are indispensable when researching. Unfortunately, it makes for pretty dry reading when going through the parts you're not too interested in. As a source of information for Indian history, though, it's great! (
