EXTRACTS FROM SOME OPINIONS

c28.116

Dr. F. W. Thomas, Professor of Sanskrit, Oxford, writes :—

c28.117

The work derives its unity from the nature of the subject, the history and culture of a fairly well defined part of India during the period of a particular dynasty. It is based upon a first-hand study of the epigraphical records and the relevant literature, including such information as is furnished by external sources. The materials have been carefully and thoroughly examined, with the result that the political and dynastic history has been expounded much more fully than before. The references seem to me exact, and the argumentation, where there is occasion for such, to be apposite. When previous views are controverted, the reasons are appropriately stated......Whether the mother (or original) tongue of the Rāṣṭrakūṭas was Kanarese may perhaps be doubted.

c28.118

In Part II (Administration) and Part III (Religious, Social and Economic conditions etc.) it is more difficult to distinguish the features proper to the Rāṣṭrakūṭa period and area from those of greater areas in space and time; and to a certain extent Professor Altekar is constrained to seek information outside the predetermined limits. He endeavours, however, and it seems successfully, to elicit the specialities. It is not his fault if, for the most part the methods of Indian administration have rather been uniform and constant. The notes on p. 136 concerning the employment of the term rāṣṭrapati and the discussion (pp. 213-6) of the meanings of the terms udranga and uparikara, adduce new points in matters of known obscurity......

c28.119

The book may be described as a solid and well documented piece of work, and it constitutes an addition to previous knowledge of the subject.

c28.120

Dr. D. R. Bhandarkar, Carmichæl Professor of Ancient Indian History and Culture, Calcutta University, writes:—

c28.121

The work is on the whole a meritorious production. The author has spared no pains in collecting facts bearing on his subject and his conclusions are almost invariably sober and thoughtful.

c28.122

3 Dr. V. S. Sukhtankar, Editor of the Mahabharata, writes:—

c28.123

This historical work is clearly based on a first-hand study of original documents and contains much sound and original research. The available materials have been thoroughly ransacked and carefully shifted. The author's notions of historical criticism, his weighing of discordant versions, the clarity and the moderation with which he has presented his results,—all these seem to me to merit high praise. It must be admitted that he has been able to expound the history of the House of the Rāṣṭrakūṭas much more fully than before. The work must be pronounced to be a solid and well documented piece of research, and it constitutes a distinct addition to previous knowledge of the subject. The author shows a laudable grasp of his materials and a stern sense of impartiality......
