Professor Osimi was the President of UNESCO's International Association for the Study of Cultures of Central Asia (1977- 1996). He headed the project of preparing and publishing the six-volume edition The History of Civilizations of Central Asia. He was also one of the co-editors of the 7-volume History of Humanity. Through the layers of the text "Connecting Hearts Connecting Generations", readers will discover why his messages are symbolic of cultural and spiritual evolution of the Tajik nation. Professor Kashinath Pandita, the steadfast Indian scholar, friend of Tajiks and a dear friend of Osimi and his family, volunteered to translate it into English to pay homage to his late friend. This volume also contains an article written by him in which he shares with us his deep memories of Osimi.
