      The Tuttle Story: “Books to Span the East and West”

      Most people are surprised to learn that the world’s largest publisher of books on Asia had its humble beginnings in the tiny American state of Vermont. The company’s founder, Charles E. Tuttle, belonged to a New England family steeped in publishing. And his first love was naturally books—especially old and rare editions.

      Immediately after WW II, serving in Tokyo under General Douglas MacArthur, Tuttle was tasked with reviving the Japanese publishing industry. He later founded the Charles E. Tuttle Publishing Company, which thrives today as one of the world’s leading independent publishers.

      Though a westerner, Tuttle was hugely instrumental in bringing a knowledge of Japan and Asia to a world hungry for information about the East. By the time of his death in 1993, Tuttle had published over 6,000 books on Asian culture, history and art—a legacy honored by the Japanese emperor with the “Order of the Sacred Treasure,” the highest tribute Japan can bestow upon a non-Japanese.

      With a backlist of 1,500 titles, Tuttle Publishing is more active today than at any time in its past—inspired by Charles Tuttle’s core mission to publish fine books to span the East and West and provide a greater understanding of each.

      ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

      Om, Let me meditate on the goddess of speech,

      Oh, wife of Lord Brahma, give me higher intellect,

      and let Goddess of “Vani” illuminate my mind.

      With the blessings of Goddess Saraswati, our fathers, the late Dr. Lalit Behari Lall Mathur and Mr. K.K. Sarkar, and our mothers, Mrs. Sarla Mathur and Mrs. Bani Sarkar, this book, Survival Hindi, has finally taken shape and is ready to help those who would like to embark on a journey to explore the rich and diverse culture of India.

      We would especially like to thank Sameer Narain and Rakhi Narain, whose insight, intellect, and indispensable typing abilities helped us to finish this book on time; as well as Rishi Narain for sharing his experience as a foreigner in India.

      We also thank all of our family and friends, who lent their tremendous support, in one way or another, to compile this work.
