Guest guest Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Dear Mr Yasuhiro Okazaki, Having read your mails as well as replies to the same by many others on the [Y-Indology] group mail, I'd like to inform all of you that presently we are publishing a series of books on INDIA'S SCIENTIFIC HERITAGE - an on-going series, the general editor of which is Dr L M Singhvi with an editorial panel of about 20 - 25 scholars across the world. Ancient / Medieval Indian Weapons based on Dhanurveda seems quite an interesting topic for such a series. If you or any other scholar or scholars even from this group are interested in working on such a comprehensive book it would be an exclusive topic to attempt. All those interested are welcome to get back. Regards RP Jain ------------ Motilal Banarsidass Publishers 41, U.A.
