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. - [Previous: v1.c4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c4.1) - [Next: v1.c4.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c4.3) - [Up: v1.c4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c4.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c4.2) · Pramāṇa
