Item description from seller

The book forays and into the little-explored territory of ancient Indian communication wisdom available to us from various ancient Indian texts. Though the book primarily focuses on the Natyasastra which is envisaged and interpreted as a practical guide to the human communication phenomenon in its entirety, it also explores and expounds on the communication concepts found in the Vedas, the Upanisads, the Dharmasutras, the Mahabharata, the Ramayana, and other ancient Indian texts. Thus, a conscious effort has been made in the holistic approach of taking the whole into consideration rather than just the parts towards comprehensively untangling the intricacies of human communication in sync with its modern avatar in this book. In the process, the context and contour of human communication mapping has been marked following in the footsteps of the ancient Bharatiya sages and concentrating upon their subtle but far-sighted thoughts.
