This is a volume brought out to felicitate Dr. Baij Nath Puri, Prof. Emeritus, Lucknow University, on his 80th birthday. The papers in this volume deal with different aspects of history of India, Sri Lanka & Southeast Asia, from pre-historic times to the present, and are not bound by any narrow, exclusive theme. That is doubtless most apposite, as Dr. Puri’s own work bears no barriers of subject, time or place. Among those who write to honour him are senior historians, as well as bright young scholars seeking a niche for themselves in the groves of academe. This volume contains 48 papers & 8 tributes. The papers are presented in a sequence dictated by chronological & thematic consideration without division into sections that would detract from history’s unbroken flow. We have tried, our best, to achieve a measure of uniformity in both transliteration & documentation. This volume is edited by Shri Sarva Daman Singh, Eminent Historian, Department of History, The University of Queensland, Australia.
