Hindu Polity: A Constitutional History of India in Hindu Times c2.8

c2.8

The book is presented in the form and substance just as it was completed in April, 1918, but for the amalgamation of the matter published by the author in the *Modern Review* in April, 1920, on Paura Jānapada, and the addition of one passage( § 27 ) on a datum from the *Abhidhāna-Rājendra* (1919), of the last line of the footnote at p. 33, and of Appendices C and D. The date of the Kauṭilīya (Artha-Śāstra) has been retained as originally given, although Dr. Jolly has recently revived the controversy through his edition of the Artha-Śāstra. On account of the importance of the subject the present writer has re-considered it here.¹ He is unable to agree with Dr. Jolly's conclusions.
