"The collection forms a remarkable synthesis of our current knowledge of the subject. This is no mere review of the data and hypothesis; it is remarkably original in that the author has developed many new ideas on geomorphic evolution of India on the basis of available geomorphic data as well as relevant data on geotecto- nics, petrology, sedimentation and palaeogeographic studies.

For the first time a really modern synthesis on the geomorphic evolution of India is presented. As in the other works by the late Professor Ray, the presentation is lucid and highly logical and the book should be useful not only to the advanced students of geo- logy and geography but also to the enlightened layman".

I feel highly honoured in being called upon to write a Foreword to this last work of my most revered teacher, late Professor Santosh Kumar Ray. This booklet represents a collection of papers written in the first half of 1976 on marry of the current problems of the Geomorphology of India. This is a remarkabie synthesis of our current knowledge of the subject. This is no mere review of the data and hypothesis; it is remarkably original in that the author has developed marry new ideas on geomorphic evolution of India on the basis of available geomorphic data as well as relevant data on geotectonics, petrology, sedimentation and palaeogeographic studies.

For the first time a really moderrr synthesis on the geomorphic evolution of India is presented. As in the other works by the late Professor Ray, the presentation is lucid and highly logical and the book should be useful not only to the advanced students of geology and geography but also to the errlightened layman.
