NEW DELHI: Noted mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik's new book for civil services aspirants shows how amalgamation of culture, art and heritage have created, built and resurrected Indian society from its inception.
'Indian Culture, Art and Heritage', available in both English and Hindi, is classified by themes, geography and history, and aims to help students understand the logic behind culture and what all it encompasses.
"Art and Culture as a subject is a very significant aspect for the UPSC examination," Pattanaik said in a statement.
"Apart from its value in attempting objective questions in prelims, it also acts as a reflection of how well students understand the world, economics, politics, civilization and so on through the lens of time and space," the best-selling author said.
