This book recounts tales of Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Sikh and other South Asian traditions. This follows the Asian Cultural History Program’s successful publication of our English translations of the works of the great Turkmen Sufi Islamic poet-philosopher-composer, Magtymguly (considered Turkmenistan’s national poet) (see Taylor 2014), and other works of South Asian cultural history especially those in conjunction with our Sikh Heritage project.1 This publication of ‘kavya literature’ thus fits in with the on-going sequence of publications, as well s museum and community activities, intended to encourage increased understanding of Sikh and broader South Asian Heritage.
