Bharatiya Darshan Ki Rooprekha by Harendra Prasad Sinha

A concise survey of Indian philosophical thought that traces its historical development from Vedic and Upanishadic foundations through the classical orthodox schools (Nyāya, Vaiśeṣika, Sāṃkhya, Yoga, Mīmāṃsā, Vedānta) and the heterodox traditions (Buddhism and Jainism), explaining central metaphysical and epistemological positions, key debates about self, reality, knowledge, and liberation, and the ethical implications of each system; the book offers comparative analysis, highlights continuities and contrasts among doctrines, and presents clarifying summaries and critical reflections aimed at students and general readers.
