The Indus People - Saraikia Saga and Sufi-Sant Renaissance (Hardcover)

These are also the lands where languages and lyricism flourished. In this cultural meltingpot evolved many a religion and diverse cults, jogis and sufis, Sikhs and Shias. Girija Kumar's seminal work, 'Saraiki to Sufiana: The Indus People and the Liberal Hindu' deals with a mozaic of myths and migrations, thoughts and beliefs, cultural practices and castes, and brings to his readers a memorable work that leaves scope for further investigations into the roots of northern India's peoples and their poetry. It is a book of relevance to scholars of indology, history and sociology, and is of equal interest to the student of military history and mythology; it is a book for the subcontinent- watcher who want to know where India and Pakistan are coming from, and how their present reflect their past.
