Description
he book explores various ground realities of the ancient historical and archaeological research in India through some essays and reviews. These realities turn out to be harsh and often demeaning to the nation, but the Indian archaeologists and ancient historians, if they want to serve the nation in any way, should be mindful of this harsh present and play their own parts in changing the situation. These essays and reviews have been mostly published in various scattered places, and one hopes that their publication in a compact form will highlight the issues they have been concerned with.
