"A great deal has been written about the close cultural ties and bonds between the two great nations of Iran and India which existed right from the onset of these two ancient civilisations. However, the editors, during their research on Indo-Iranian studies, observed that unfortunately not one text existed that dealt comprehensively and exclusively with the comparative studies on these two countries.

"This book is a humble contribution to help make it easier for future research students/scholars and friends with allied interests, who can at a glance observe to what great an extent the cultures of India and Iran have amalgamated and enriched each other. It is a compilation of various research papers on various aspects of Indo-Iranian culture and philosophy, by eminent personalities of scholarly pursuits, presented in the form of a series of lectures at the culture house of the Islamic Republic of Iran, New Delhi, between June, 1993 and June, 1994."
