{ "item_title" : "Substantive Inscriptions of Ancient India", "item_author" : [" Chandra Neel "], "item_description" : "No doubt India contributed to the civilization of the world in all phases of the history; but her most substantial contributions to the world culture were made in the early period. Therefore, the study of Ancient Indian History is too important for a student/researcher of the history of human civilization. It is quite unfortunate that, unlike Greece, Rome or China, ancient India has no history, because the Indians of antiquity did not care to leave written accounts of all their achievements. Therefore, the information gathered from various sources, such as the epigraphic, numismatic, archaeological and monumental records, and travel-accounts of the foreign tourists, are put to use for the reconstruction of this lost history of the most glorious days of India. Of all such sources, the epigraphic records are the most important, for they supply valuable and reliable material for the major part of what we now know about the achievements of the early Indians. It is now an established fact that the genuine inscriptions form the most authentic source for almost correct reconstruction of the historical events of any civilization and culture all round the globe. Inscriptions, in whatever form, constitute an important and reliable source of the past events. This book throws light on the types, forms, characteristic features and significance of the inscriptions today that were produced in Ancient India during the first three centuries of the Common Era.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers4.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/837/838/9798378389735_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "14.99", "online_price" : "14.99", "our_price" : "14.99", "club_price" : "14.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
