Social Life in Ancient India

This book is an accurate determination of the Social Life in Ancient India, which as yet, has not been receiving the attention that other aspects of ancient Indian history and culture have. The author has attempted and intense study of the synthetic history embracing the long period through which the Indian society has grown and developed, and has done so with the help of a comprehensive study of Vatsyayana’s Kamasutra which presents a beautifully vivid picture of the Indian society in the early centuries.
The book attempts to give as complete an account as possible of the social life of India as depicted by VATSAYAYANA, wonderfully supplementing accounts received from the sacred literatures, Brahmanical, Buddhistic and Jain. The author also freely derives accounts from various other sacred texts and sources so as to present an accurate idea of the state of Indian society in the ancient period of the Indian civilization.
The present volume is a complete and comprehensive study of that life as reflected in one of the most fascinating secular documents that have come down to us from the ancient world and which the lovers of Indian lore will fully appreciate.
A truly fascinating work is placed in the hands of the students of Indian history, culture and life of its people.
