POLITICAL AND CULTURAL HISTORY OF INDIA -(TEXT)-For B.A. (Pass and Honours), M.A., Civil Services Examination, Prelimenary Subordinate Services and other Competitive Examination

We have planned the present work in such a manner as to cover the syllabus prescribed by all the Indian Universities in Ancient History for the graduate and the post-graduate classes B.A (Pass and Honors) and M.A .

 

The courses of study prescribed by the Public Service Commission for the State and central Services have also been borne in mind while writing the present volume. The Author feels that the present volume as it stands now, leaves out nothing of importance which may be expected of graduate or post-graduate students in Ancient History.
