The Dynastic History of Northern India (Early Mediaeval Period) v1.c4.2

v1.c4.2

The idea of the present work suggested itself to me as early as 1920-21 when I was faced with the task of delivering lectures on the Hindu period of Indian History to the Post-Graduate students of the University of Calcutta. The first two volumes of the work were however actually planned and completed during my stay in Europe during the years 1927-29. These two volumes mainly contain the political history of the ‘Dynasties.’ The third volume which is in course of preparation will deal with the following topics : (*i*) Minor Dynasties, (*ii*) Administrative History, (*iii*) Economic History, (*iv*) Social and Religious History, (*v*) Literary History, (*vi*) Monuments and Coins, (*vii*) Origin of the Rajputs, and (*viii*) The Causes of the Decline and Downfall of the Hindu Dynasties in Northern India.
