• [Portal de la India Antigua]:

  El ``Portal de la India Antigua'' es un nuevo sitio web que intenta ser una puerta abierta a una de las culturas más atractivas de la humanidad, todavía demasiado poco conocida en occidente no obstante el aumento del turismo y el poder de Internet. En español, a pesar de un creciente interés, es muy escaso el material de calidad disponible en la web y no muy abundante tampoco en las mejores librerías. Por ello, pienso que este sitio, redactado en español, puede ser de utilidad a los hispanohablantes pues recopila una gran cantidad de información dispersa en la web ofreciendo links comentados a unos 300 libros y a unos 150 artículos gratuitos (más en curso) sobre todos los aspectos de esta civilización tales como historia, religiones, filosofía, literatura, ciencia y arte.
