– The book, “The Periplus. of Hindustan,” is an expansive review of the perception of India by some foreign travellers like Megasthenes, Ibn Batuta, Alberuni, Ralph Fitch, Thomas Roe, to name just a few. A well-researched book and one of its kind, it gives a vivid picture of the history, geography, civilization, culture, customs and traditions in India for almost 2000 years from the period from B.C. 302 to C.E. 1681.

The book is an outcome of a column written by Sunanda Bhosekar in the Marathi daily Praha in the year 2011. Further research was undertaken by the author from 2018-2019, this has been a continuous process of in -depth study since then.

Sunanda Bhosekar has done her Master’s Degree in Political Science and History from the University of Mumbai. She has a keen interest in travel, archaeology, history, various cultures and political thought. Sunanda pursued her career in the field of Finance at the Reserve Bank of India from 1980 to 2018. A poet by heart, she has to her credit three poetry collections – 'अनोळखी प्रदेशात,' 'रे गोपाळा' and 'गळ्यावरचा निळा डाग.' She has contributed many articles and columns in various Marathi newspapers and periodicals. Her career as a writer has been growing continuously while she was in the RBI but now it has taken centre stage since she is aspiring to become both an intellectual writer and a sensitive poet.

The programme will be presided over by Shri Kumar Ketkar, writer, senior journalist and a member of the Rajya Sabha till recently.
