This book has been designed to address the needs of civil services aspirants and it will help in providing contextual illustrations for the UPSC aspirants to generate interest and in-depth understanding. In a nutshell, this book shows how the amalgamation of these three components – Culture, Art, and Heritage – has created, built, and resurrected the Indian society from its inception.
The book has expert insights into mythology, with over 250 storytelling images, 100 tables, and 200 examination-based questions. Documented in a table format the idea is to aid memory, understanding, and the logic behind the culture. The book has 64 chapters and all of them are classified very carefully as we see everything through the lens of time and space. The uniqueness of the book is that it is classified by themes such as History, Geography, etc. It comes with contemporary content like The Indian Home, LGBTQ, Women, etc. This book is very carefully designed in a way that can help aspirants remember things. Writing this book also helped me to streamline my thoughts and I hope this will help UPSC aspirants in their preparations.
Hence, I took this as an opportunity and decided to put together a book that will make things easy and simple for aspirants and help them understand the logic behind culture. I couldn’t answer due to a lack of understanding to some extent, and that bothered me a lot. Fortunately, I cleared my exams, but I didn’t do very well in my interview, where one of the questions was on heritage and tradition. This also brought back a lot of memories of me giving the UPSC exam, 25 years ago. Precisely, it was around the time when I went to Pearson’s office to give a motivational talk, and they came up with the idea of writing something on culture for UPSC aspirants.
Well, the idea, so to say, came in a very unexpected way a lot of credit goes to Pearson.
