This volume-Banikanta Kakati: The Man And His Works is a collection of articles highlighting the different aspects of Dr. Kakati's qualities and achievements. Dr. Banikanta Kakati-the man who was known for his simplicity, and his works remarkable for indepth scholastic analysis was a pioneer in more than one aspects in the field of Assamese language and literature. His treatise on the growth and development of the Assamese language once for all established the origin and identity of the language with distinctive features of its own. He was also a pioneer in setting a trend in literary criti- cism as well as in appreciation and evaluation of writings of the past.

Shri Tabu Taid and Shri Ranjit Dev Goswami have done a commendable job in compiling and editing this volume. Their pains- taking effort have been ably rewarded by the response they received from many a distinguished writers. The contribution of two eminent Indologists Professor K. K. Handiqui and Professor S.K. Chatterji have indeed enriched the volume. We would wish to put on record our thanks to Shri Taid and Shri Dev Goswami for their laudable effort to present a comprehensive assessment of Dr. Kakati, the man and his works.

We hope, this volume will help the readers-students and scholars in particular in appreciating the rare qualities of Dr. Kakati.
