The first volume is on political history of Indonesia. It covers all dynasties/rulers of Indonesia ? from the earliest Sailendras of Srivijaya to the political scene in current times including the rise of President Sukarnoputri in the recent past.

A detailed account of Indonesia\`s literature involves study of writers and their works, and languages and characteristics of the literature at various times.

The volumes will immensely benefit scholars of political history, religion and culture specialising in South-east Asia and its links with other regions of Asia.
