IN history of civilisation it is usually taken for granted that influences are exerted by the superior culture on the inferior one and in a country like India having recurrent instances of incursions made from outside, the culture of the foreign invaders are often considered one up than the native heritage. But even a cursory study would easily reveal that no such qualitative gradation is ever possible between the emitter and the receptor in impact studies, nor do influences emanate inevitably from alien cultures alone but may proceed as well from the endogenous Little Tradition which had at some period or other drifted away from the mainstream of the Great Tradition. The essays collated here expose these two facets of the inter- action problem.
