New Delhi: “Essays on Srimanta Sankaradeva”, the new book of Dr Sanjib Kumar Borkakoti highlights hitherto unexplored areas of Indian culture and philosophy. The author has written the essays on the lasting contributions of the medieval polymath Srimanta Sankaradeva. His analysis ranges from economic sustenance of the Sattra institution to the Vivartanavada philosophy, all created by the versatile genius Srimanta Sankaradeva. The essays also describe how the Saint litterateur shaped the socio-cultural fabric of Assam. The social structure as well as the literature and culture of Assam were deeply enriched by him.
Study of the contributions of Srimanta Sankaradeva gives one a holistic understanding about the Assamese society because the common culture of Assamese people is what the saint synthesized from different ethnic cultures of the Brahmaputra valley. That is why the saint is known as father of Assamese people. The author throws light on all these in a lucid manner. H
