The Republic of India is the second most populous, the seventh largest by geographical area, and has the fourth largest economy in terms of purchasing power parity in the world. While it has always been an important country, it has often been neglected. Of late, however, there has been much talk of the 'new' India, one with greater economic dynamism, a more active foreign policy, and the emergence of a huge middle class. With over a hundred new cross-referenced dictionary entries-the majority of which pertain to the last decade-and updating others, the second edition of the Historical Dictionary of India illustrates the rapidly evolving situation without neglecting the country's ancient past. The chronology has been brought up to date, the introduction expanded, and the bibliography includes numerous new titles.

Probably the first book of its kind, Delhi : A City of Museums is a beautifully designed guide and reference book for tourists and art, history and culture enthusiasts. Delhi showcases the country's absorbing geographical, political, social and art history in the range of facinating museums found within its limits, and just outside. The author has compiled in this volume a bird's eye view of ten important museums in the city. Each chapter is a walk through the history of the exhibits of each museum, and is lavishly illustrated by a set of striking photographs. The narraion reflects the painstaking reserach and infectious enthusiasm of the author, as well as an abiding interest, closing the gap between the wealth of information that museums provide and our own lives. Contents : Acknowledgements / Photo Credits / Foreword / Map of Museums in Delhi / Introduction / National Museum of National History / Crafts Museum / Sanskriti Museum of Everyday Art / Maritime Heritage Gallery / National Rail Museum / Air Force Museum / National Philatelic Museum / Gallery of Musical Instruments / National Gallery of Modern Art / National Museum / Appendix 1 / Appendix 2 / References.
