Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient History of the Deccan Deccan in Ancient times and that we are going to study in this work. The only book in which we find some information on their subject is the Bombay Gazetteer Vol. I. Part II (1896) which contains two works: Early History of the Deccan by R. G. Bhandarkar and Dynasties of the Kanarese Districts by I. F Fleet. This book is well-known and there is no need to praise it here. But today it has one defect: it is twenty-five years old and during this last quarter of a cen tury numerous discoveries have been made and The Bombay Gazetteer Vol. I. Part II. Is not at all up to date Besides, this book itself does not contain, strictly speaking, the history of the Deccan in ancient times. The portion concer ning the ancient times is very succinct, for, in 1896, the num ber of documents concerning it was small. Moreover, the Bombay Presidency does not by itself constitute the whole of the Deccan. We may therefore say that today the History of the Deccan is quite a new subject. The student who wishes to know what was the History of the Deccan between 261 B. C, and 610 A. D, does not know what books to consult. This his tory is lost in obscurity. Still it is not the documents that are. Wanting; for the dynasty of the Kadambas alone, we have about thirty copper-plates. We have also plenty of information about the Pallavas and the Gangas. Why then is the chrono logy of these dynasties so mysterious? I thought that what. Was wanted most at the present time was to arrange the parts and make a whole work of it; I thought that a complete and attentive study of all the documents we actually possess will throw a flood of light on the darkness, bring order out of chaos and, in short, give birth to, what we have not had up tothe present, the Ancient Historv of the Deccan.
