The volume presents very lively debates amongst great scholars of the old generation e.g., between D.C. Sircar and V.V. Mirashi on the spread of the Saka Era in South India, D.C. Sircar and R.C. Majumdar on the Harsha Era. All the research papers compiled in this volume from the now defunct Journal, Indian Historical Quarterly, (1928-1963) edited by N.N. Law create an impression that all the dates and eras in Indian History are mired in some controversy. But at the same time, they instil in us a sense of humility and gratitude for the painstaking efforts made by scholars of the last century to resolve these controversies. We are simply overwhelmed by their great erudition and originality. We hope, this volume will serve as an inspiration and a model for the future researchers.

According to the modern Indian history books Lord Buddha is believed to have been born in the sixth century BC and Chandragupta Maurya is believed to have been the ruler of Magadha Empire soon after the invasion of Alexander in the year 327 BC. There is a common misconception among the laymen as well as the historians that these and the other dates given in the official version of Indian history are proven facts.However, a careful and critical examination of the sources from which, and the manner in which, these dates have been derived show that these dates are only as true as the creation of the universe in (or around) the year 4006 BC Most people including the historians believe that the dates mentioned above and the other dates of Indian history have been derived mainly from archaeological evidences, inscriptions on stone pillars and the accounts of the foreign travelers. But no history can be written from such discontinuous sources. History has to be written mainly from the historical accounts. The modern pioneers of Indian history namely Sir William Jones, Professor Max Muller, Professor Wilson and other orientalists of late eighteenth and early nineteenth century knew this and the first sources they looked for Indian history were the scriptures known as Itihasa and Purana such as Mahabharata, Bhagavata Purana, Vishnu Purana, Vayu Purana, Matsysa Purana and Bhavishya Purana.The Puranas give the dates of the historical events in Kaliyugabda, Vikram Samvat, Sakabda and other Indian eras still in use at present. From these narrations it is possible to get the dates of all important historical events in the Christian era.This book gives the chronology of ancient Indian history calculated precisely in this manner.In calculating the dates from the Puranas the following procedure should be adopted to rectify the errors and discrepancies:1. Proper distinction should be made between the Puranas and the other ancient texts. For example, Abhigyana Shakuntalam, Mudra Rakshasa, Raghu Vansa, etc. are magnificent literary works and not historical documents.2. In some Puranas the dates are given in more than one era; the different eras have been enumerated in section 2.1. In such cases comparison should be made to detect any possible error. Possible grammatical errors as well as the consistency and continuity of the verses should be carefully checked.3. The dates of events worked out from different Puranas should be tallied and compared with the dates worked out from astronomical data. These have been referred to in section 2.7.The dates of some important events calculated in a straightforward manner and verified by astronomical data as well as the archaeological evidences and Greek history are given in this book. It is high time that the modern students and scholars of history discard the chronology based on the creation of universe in the year 4006 BC and rewrite the ancient history of India on the basis of the correct chronology from the Puranas.The purpose of the book is to provide students and scholars of history the outline of the Puranic chronology supported by archaeological evidences and foreign notices. Criticisms and suggestions are invited from readers about the contents of this book including the dates of the individual historic events. All such correspondence is welcome by the author.

The object of this volume is to provide within a moderate compass a compendious account of the history, institutions, and culture of ancient India from the dim ages of antiquity to the establishment of Moslem rule. It has not been planned to meet the needs of any particular class of readers. Its primary purpose is to serve alike students, scholars, and all others, interested in the study of ancient Indian history, as a book of ready use and reference. The pages which follow every attempt has been made to avoid presenting a mass of the dry bones of historical fact or over-burdening the account with intricate discussions on knotty problems of history, on the one hand, and giving a mere general and readable survey of India's long and fascinating past, on the other. I have endeavoured to tap and utilise properly the available sources of information, literary, epigraphic, and numismatic, and also to embody and set forth in a consistent manner the results of up-to-date researches on different topics and epochs. All the materials have been patiently sifted and critically examined with the sole desire to arrive at historical truth and scientific accuracy; and the unfortunate tendency, manifest in some modern publications, to extol or decry without warrant any of the manifolds aspects of India's panoramic story, has been scrupulously eschewed This book gives an authoritative, up-to-date, and compendious account of the history, institutions and culture of India from the earliest times to the advent of the Moslem period. It is based on all available materials - literary, epigraphic, and numismatic - and is written in a most elegant, sober, and lucid style. The author brings to bear upon his task not only profound scholarship and critical acumen but also scrupulous regard for historical truth, the accuracy of facts and impartiality of judgement. The merit of the book has been enhanced by an exhaustive Bibliography and a comprehensive Index. Students, scholars and the general reader alike will find the book highly interesting, useful and valuable for study and references.
