Description
McGraw Hill Cinasthana Today by Deodhar
Cinasthana Today presents China, dating back from the regime of Chandragupta, when it was known as Cina-sthana, to its current status as an economic power. It covers China without bias and without fear, by focussing on the people of China and their life today, tracing back to its ancient historic moments and progressing towards its current scenario, with constant referencing of contemporary India. Cinasthana Today is backed by the authors keen observation and long association with China since 1983. In 1988, as the Technological Advisor to the late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, he briefed him about Chinas fast export-led growth via the Special Economic Zones in Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Shantou. For more than a decade now, the author has been the President of the India-China Economic & Cultural Council (ICECC), New Delhi. This book aims at benefitting both India and China by positively influencing public opinion. The author projects the cultural, economic and social similarities of these two ancient civilizations which share very similar community bonds. Foreign dominance for a thousand years, the language barrier and Himalayas have kept the two nations apart, but Cinasthana Today will hopefully overcome these hurdles for a new, mutually progressive tomorrow.
