In conclusion the author refers to Hindu Polity of Jayaswal; that the constitutional progress made by the Hindu has probably not been equal-led, much less surpassed by any polity of antiquity. It is all the more surprising that after so many years of Independence such classical studies are gathering dust in the library. If a study of the past makes our present better and future brighter, then this book is crying for urgent attention.  aEnglish  aHinduism x Administration  aHinduismvReligious aspectsxAdministration  aHindu law xAdministration
