A Concise History of Science in India c2.6

c2.6

The editors are conscious of the limitations of their attempt involving the participation of a number of scholars from different fields. Certain lack of uniformity in the treatment and presentation of the materials is perhaps unavoidable. Nevertheless, it has given an opportunity to such scholars to look at the history of science in India from the viewpoint of their own disciplines. The original draft of each chapter was referred to other experts for comments and suggestions for further improvement, which were freely given. Many of these suggestions bearing on the factual statements were incorporated and comments concerning points of view were considered in such a manner that the freedom of authors in this respect was not interfered with. The editors take this opportunity to express their gratitude to the referees—Prof. Ram Ballabh, Shri T. S. Kuppanna Sastry, Prof. Ram Behari, Dr. C. Dwarkanath, Hakim Abdul Wahab Zahuri, Prof. T. R. Seshadri, Prof. P. Rây, Shri B. B. Lal, the late Dr. J. C. Sengupta and Dr. G. S. Melkote.
