    This series is an invitation to a journey through Indian civilization and an attempt to read the ancient Indian mind by sifting through archaeological, cultural, literary and historical evidence. A few long-lived controversies have been thrown in, not so much to reach clear-cut conclusions as to show how to (and how not to) discuss them. The lecture series hopes to lead to a more intimate understanding of what has made this civilization so enduring despite formidable odds.
