The Hindu-Buddhist Sculpture of Ancient Kashmir and Its Influences is primarily based on the study of the largely unpublished corpus of sculpture, mostly of stone, in the Sri Pratap Singh Museum in Srinagar, and of other examples in situ elsewhere in the valley. The disparate nature and fragmentary condition of these sculptures as well as their artistic and iconographical influences have for long defied accurate analysis. The method used in the classification of these sculptures is based on close analysis of their style concentrating on recurring features such as facial and physical typology, modelling, dress and ornamentation. Comparisons are made with other examples of Kashmir bronze, ivory and stone sculpture in private and public collections both within India and abroad.

India gave us Buddha the founder of Buddhism. How Buddhism spread to most of the countries without conquest is the most important factor and needs a cool introspection. Are the just three words Mantra so powerful! The Three Jewels of Buddhism-the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha and by surrendering oneself to these three heals one from all sufferings.The book describes the life of Buddha, Buddhists of Kashmir and the spread of Buddhism without conquest. Emperor Ashoka sent out emissaries to many of the lands west of India, reaching countries in Central and West Asia, and even the Mediterranean and some evidence indicate that these emissaries were accompanied by Buddhist missionaries. Buddhism is a religion that is practised worldwide. It is believed that as many as 535 million people around the world practice this religion, which would represent between 8% and 10% of the world's total population. Several countries have a very high proportion of Buddhism followers.
