Extract

Southern asia has a long history of contact with countries that were relatively advanced in one or the other aspect of their civilization. Certain elements of these other civilizations were assimilated, others were not, and today the cultural diversity of the area is as great as it has ever been. The processes of intercultural communication are traced here in their broadest outlines to bring out the main patterns of transmittal and of resistance which we can discern.
