Since the manuscript was completed and sent to the publisher, several studies have appeared that treat certain aspects of ancient Indian polity—notably those of Professors Y. Mishra, Charles Drekmeier, B. A. Saletore, J. W. Spellman, and U. N. Ghoshal. Since none of these books consider the republican political systems of ancient India in any depth or detail, their publication has not necessitated any significant change in my interpretation of the subject. - [Previous: c3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sharma-1968.c3.5) - [Next: c4.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sharma-1968.c4.2) - [Up: c4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sharma-1968.c4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sharma-1968.c4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sharma-1968.c4.1) · Pramāṇa
