Study of early Indian historiography has received greater attention of scholars in recent years and some interesting works have been seen to come out. This book is characterized by a pioneering dash into an accumulated mass to ancient Indian history writings over the years contained in the proceedings of Indian History Congress. It introduces a serious researcher Dr. Vandana Verma expressing her interdisciplinary and evaluative insight which distinguishes the work from other studies. It is a departure from identifying trends of Indian historiography on the basis of observed biases or presuppositions. It is also marked by a refreshingly fresh approach to the historical development based on concrete data. Bibliography is impressive and up-to-date and presentation is lucid. Prof. Samaresh Bandyopadhyay's enlightening ‘Roreword’ explains the background of this work.
