Hindu Polity

- ‘ Hindu Polity’ in two volumes (Parts) – the first on Vedic Assemblies and Republics, the second on Monarchy and Imperial Systems – is a sketch of the constitutional life of the Hindus. The subject is great but its treatment has to by modest. The works of purva-suris had long been hidden; the path opened by them had long been lost. It had to be researched. In 1911-13 a probable line was laid to dig and discover ‘ The Ancients’ highway in the field of Polity. In these pages that line has been deepened and widened. And the way of the Fathers is in sight. The author made a special study to find out what constitional progress, if any, Ancient Indians had achieved. In 1911 and 1912 some results of the study were published in the legal journal the Calcutta Weekly Notes and the Calcutta monthly the Modern Review.
