What attracts an outsider to India is the kaleidoscopic view of its art, craft and architecture as reflected in the country's numerous monuments, secular approach of the Indian Government towards its diverse religious groups, colourful festivals and ceremonies observed by the followers of seven religions, and regional differences in the marriage rituals and practices. Sir Paulias Matane, a senior statesman from Papua New Guinea, visited India in March 2003. Accompanied by M L Ahuja, a Delhi-based Indian, he visited Delhi, Agra, And Jaipur. Together, they had been to temples, gurudwaras and mosques. They met people of diverse religious groups, participated in some marriages and festivals. India: A Splendour In Cultural Diversity is the outcome of their keen observation and prolonged discussion with the people they met. The book is a repository of information for the Indians living within the country, non-resident Indians living outside India as well as others to understand this sub-continent in its proper perspective. It should also be useful for the younger generation to know about our rich cultural and traditional values.
