The diverse topics in the book reflect intensely the schematic presentation of the subject lending latitude for building up a picturesque panorama of Indian culture in retrospect. For the compact summation of this study, I have pieced together some of my research papers which have appeared in different journals and periodicals from time to time.

I am grateful to many of my colleagues for the help rendered by them in various ways in the preparation of this book. I specially thank Shri A.V.
