Preface
first volume of this work was published in 1978 and was generously received by the scholars, interested both in Jainism and the early Indian history and religion. In that volume, the history of Jainism from the earliest times upto 1000 A.D., was given. In the present volume, an attempt has been made to write the history of this Religion from 1000 A,D. to 1600 A.D. In the last chapter, of this volume, we have given a descriptive account of the well-known Jain Tirthas (sacred places) in the alphabetical order and nearly three hundred places have been discussed. A third volume on Philosophy and Art will be published in due course. We, once more, thank our readers both for their good and adverse criticisms of the earlier volume.

His works on Kärttikeya and Pre-Buddhist India are quite well-known. His earlier volume on Jainism, is undoub-tedly the greatest work on this fascinating subject.
