There was a time in the past, when it was possible for a scholar to keep himself/herself up to date and well informed on current literature in his/her field of interest. But due to the increase in the amount of literature available these days, it has become more and more difficult to do so. But for a comprehensive bibliography, even an erudite scholar faced with such a vast amount of literature would lose his/her way, wasting much of the valuable time before he/she is able to read even a part of what he/she is required to study. Keeping in view these facts, it has been considered useful to compile a bibliography available on rock art of India.
