The Author have consulted various latest reputed historians in the completion of this book; and  he is confident of its beneficiality for the readers due to its simple language and lucid style. He expresses his heartiest thanks to those reputed historians who inspired him to write this book and whose valuable opinions he has quoted here and there. We have planned the present work in such a manner as to cover the syllabus prescribed by all the Indian Universities in Ancient History for the graduate and the post-graduate classes B.A (Pass and Honors) and M.A .

The courses of study prescribed by the Public Service Commission for the State and central Services have also been borne in mind while writing the present volume. The Author feels that the present volume as it stands now, leaves out nothing of importance which may be expected of graduate or post-graduate students in Ancient History. The revised edition of the present volume has had a good reception at the hands of the readers. It was sold out in record time. The new demand however, continued to mount with the lapse of time. it was therefore decided to bring out as possible, a revised and amended edition of the present book.
