About the book:-This book deals with 5000-year old history of India. How the race and culture developed in Pre-historic times. It encompasses growth of one of the greatest civilizations in the world. It is well-known that prehistoric archaeo¬logy is as vital to a proper understanding of the steps and processes of human progress as ontogeny is to philogeny. And the place of India in human culture being once completely compre¬hended, prehistoric archaeology of India becomes fraught with the utmost interest. “A glance at the map shows India as the heart of the old world; in fact, the ideas that emanated from India, the elements of culture that matured there, had been derived from outside, had been recast and transformed over and over again by an indescribably fertile imagination, sometimes indeed worked up even to extravagance, and in all these stages given out again broadcast to the world. Thus as in historic times, so possibly in prehistoric times India was in touch with phase after phase of the dominant cultures of the world. What is more, with the motto of “live and let live” India is still dragging on primitive ele¬ments from the remotest prehistoric times even in the most cultured households which live and move in latest thoughts whether spiritually evolved within herself or materially imported from the West.
