This series of bibliographies was prepared for use in training programs. Primary emphasis in the selection of items was given to materials in the library of the Foreign Service Institute. Preference was given to the more recently published materials in order to highlight the most current studies and to ensure a balanced presentation of differing viewpoints on an issue. The document, which contains over 500 citations, most of which are dated between 1952 and 1971, is divided into the following sections: 1) Bibliographies; 2) Physical and Human Geography; 3) General History; 4) India; 5) Pakistan; 6) Afghanistan; 7) Ceylon; 8) Nepal and the Himalayan Area; 9) Regional Security; 10) Art and Literature; and 11) Periodicals. The sections on individual countries include citations on religion, philosophy, ethics, social customs, politics, education, and international relations. Others in the series are: SO 005 914 through SO 005 919. (OPH)
