N2  - The essays in this volume present a wide-ranging survey of the diverse art forms of early South Asia. In doing so, they depart from the dominant tendency of treating the arts as static 'heritage of the past' with just exhibition value. Instead, they perceive them as dynamic processes of meaning and communication in the past. Bringing together authoritative voices on South Asian history, archeology and literature, the volume acquaints its readers with fundamental contributions to the region's art history; yet it does so in a manner that questions and opens up received wisdom, and initiates a new understanding of early cultural processes
