Dear Pratap,
I hope this letter will find you in good health. I received your letter a few days ago. I was very happy to read it. In the letter you have asked about the Cultural Heritage of India. Regarding this I would like to say that Indian People still believe in the continuity of Indian civilization. Indian culture is very old and it revolves a round man with its inner and outer self. It has different colours but all are mixed like the colours of a rainbow. Multiple races, languages, religions, philosophy and artistic expressions all have webbed into one. Whatever races and people come to India, they merged themselves as one and became Indians. They held together just like the planets of an orbit.
Indian people still love the tales of heroes of the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. Both the epics are in the soul of Indian people. The ancient works like that of Vedas and Upanishads also acclaim the same. In them we see the mirror of our culture. Indian culture is clearly manifest in its art such as architecture, sculpture and other find arts. And finally, through a beautiful and complete language of movement, Indian dance provides the most concrete manifestation of the inner state and vision.
What I know about the great heritage I have mentioned it briefly. It will be worthwhile if you read the book Great Heritage of India which I am herewith sending you. Please convey my respectful compliments to your parents and uncle and love to Reena.
The more you’ll see in the next letter. Rest is O.K.
Yours Sincerely
Vikash Kumar
