The deep civilisational link between India and Cambodia is a wonder of humanity. Instead of power and profit, it was a shared sense of dharma that underpinned this magnificent tapestry, its glorious patterns woven by kings and adventurers, priests and traders, artisans and farmers, artists and philosophers, by people, using the twin threads of commerce and culture. While modern India’s cultural reach beyond the subcontinent is growing every day, its deep historical, cultural and spiritual relationship with Cambodia is all but forgotten. Shared Roots tries to plug that gap, inviting readers to embark on a captivating odyssey through the vibrant currents that once flowed freely between the two countries.

Seven diverse authors meticulously unravel the profound connections that have shaped both nations, from the echoing verses of the Reamker to the breathtaking grandeur of Angkor Wat. But Shared Roots is more than just a historical journey. It is an invitation to rediscover the power and beauty of cultural exchange untainted by colonialism, a potent reminder that diversity is not just a feature but also an essential building block of a just society. Drawing upon meticulous research and captivating storytelling, this book ignites a conversation about civilizational revival, urging us to celebrate the past while embracing a future enriched by shared understanding.

The book is a stunning exploration of cultural fusion, a testament to the enduring power of enlightened values, and a call to action for a more vibrant world.
