The book starts with an ethnic background of the Indian population together with their culture and shows how the social organisation was devised by the amalgamated people on the basis of an understanding of the spirit and shows how the culture of India emerged as a result of religio- spiritual thinking of the Indian seers and saints. The literacy and artistic expression of Indian society which manifests therir understanding of the Nature and Universe in the light of the spirit has been provided for the understanding of the social behaviour of ancient India.

The first edition of the book was exhausted within four years and as such it had become necessary to publish either a reprint or a second edition of the book, I thought it to be prudent to publish edited and enlarged edition of the book incorporating some more information and providing Sanskrit rendering of the Sanskrit verses quoted in the book.

For the post-graduate students of Indian Universities this book should serve as a text-book for the study of social and cultural history of ancient India.

Prof. M.L. Bose has been teaching in the Dibrugarh University for about thirty years and has contributed more than thirty papers in Regional and National Seminars and Journals of Repute. An Aurobindite Prof. Bose has guided many research scholars to produce Ph.D thesis. His earliers published works Historical and Constitutional Documents of North East India, 1979; British Policy in the North-East Frontier Agency, 1979; Development of Administration in Assam, 1985; Social History of Assam, 1989; Social and Cultural History of Ancient India, 1989; and History of Arunachal Pradesh were well received in the academic world.

The first edition of the book was exhausted within four years and as such it had become necessary to publish either a reprint or a second edition of the book, I thought it to be prudent to publish edited and enlarged edition of the book incorporating some more information and providing sanskrit rendering of the Sanskrit verses quoted in the book. Hence the enlarged and revised edition of the book.
