This volume contains well- researched papers in different aspects of the Indian culture and its influences in East, South Asian, and South-East Asian countries, which includes the following facets like the Indian culture and the world, South Asian cultural heritage, cultural linkages of South India and South- East Asia and Tamil culture and its influences. It also has a study of archaeological aspects, both Indian and Asian with a specific feature of the cultural heritage of the South Asian regions. The importance of this edited volume highlights the wide range of aspects of the theme as well as projections of the learned scholars on the subject. We hope the papers in this volume will make a contribution praiseworthy of Indian society in the past as a rich source of archaeological, religious, social, and cultural studies. Towards a fuller understanding of the culture and heritage of India and South Asia, the present volume contributes significantly and we hope that this will stimulate further research in the field of the cultural and social history of India and beyond.
