Hellenism In Ancient India

About The Book -: In this remarkable book, the learned author has given a brilliant account of the kind of post-Alexandrian influence on the civilization of India. It shows that Alexander’s magnificent ambition was to conquer the whole world for the mind even more than to possess its riches and dominions. With descent of Alexander, the Great, upon the Punjab, a golden period commenced for India which entered into far more intimate relations with the foreign nations than has hitherto been the case. The intercourses between two great civilizations brought about magnificent deve Lopments in arts and architectures, sculpture, resulting into Greeco-Buddhist sculptures of Gandhara, Indian paintings, a new system of lovely coinage, medicine.According to the author the term denotes ancient Greek culture in all its phases and even such elements in modern civilization as are Greek in origin or spirit. The Greek invasion brought India for the first time in contact with European and produced consequences of utmost importance. About The Author -: Dr Gauranganath Banerjee was an Indian born author.
