India: A Story Through 100 Objects

We are constantly surrounded by objects, by 'things' that channel and dictate our everyday life, 'things' that we take for granted.

But these objects speak to us, and speak about us. They have a story to tell that reflects our values and aspirations, our achievements and dreams, and reveal more about us than we realise!

This richly illustrated book focuses on 100 objects to tell a story of India that unravels in a series of thematic sections that allow the objects to take centre-stage.

The stories that some objects tell will be new to readers; at other times, the objects themselves may be familiar but the story they tell may not be obvious.

The 100 objects shed light on the varying priorities and the differing strands of achievement that arose over time to create the rich multi-cultural medley that is today's India.
