c3.5

Since the emphasis is being put on facts, the narrative is so planned that inferences or conclusions are not mixed up with any preconceived theories, but the latter follow the main account and can be appraised independently and objectively. The facts themselves have been gathered in two ways: firstly from a first-hand study of the objects and accounts of excavations and explorations conducted by the author, his colleagues and pupils at the Deccan College in several parts of India; and secondly, from a first-hand study, *as far as possible*, of the work done by the members of the Archaeological Survey of India, as well as other Directors of Archaeology in various States, and their colleagues and Professors in Indian Universities.
