Reconstructed in unbiased perspective. Also the origin and development of Prakrit-Pali language and literature and its brief introduction history are described. This is the first attempt to make a history of the entire ancient Indian literature in the light of social consciousness, setting it in the background of social life, and to make a consistent evaluation of the main authors and creations. Dr. Rameswar Shah’s book is not only a continuous chronology of writers and works and merely providing information, determining the importance of the socio-economic environment in which literature is developed, a conscious effort to analyze the trends, popular tastes and language styles of the society at that time reflected in literature has added new dimensions and scope to the discussion of the history of literature. | |
