The scientific developments have whetted the desire for extensive and exact knowledge and also inspired confidence in acquiring it. In such circumstances it is essential that the Indian history books are made up-to-date. The utility of Indian history is now not limited to the Indians only. The world wants to know it and learn from it. A long interval has passed since books on Indian history were compiled according to the Bharateeya historiography. Fresh effort is most urgent.

In this new recension, in addition to the original qualities of Indian historiography, some complementary details, like the chronology for some thousands of years, may be added to facilitate the foreigners to understand it.
