Ancient India, like ancient Greece boasts of two great Epics. One of them, the Maha-bharata, relates to a great war in which all the warlike races of Northern India took a share, and may therefore be compared to the Iliad. The great war which is the subject of this Epic is believed to have been fought in the thirteenth or fourteenth century before Christ. The war thus became the centre of a cycle of legends, songs, and poems in ancient India, the vast mass of legends and poetry, accumulated during centuries, was cast in a narrative form and formed the Epic of the Great Bharata nation, and therefore called the Maha-bharata. The real facts of the war had been obliterated by age, legendary heroes had become the principal actors, and, as is invariably the case in India, the thread of a high moral purpose, of the triumph of virtue and the subjugation of vice, was woven into the fabric of the great Epic.
This is first of the two volumes of the Economic History of India, by ROMESH CHUNDER DUTT who undoubtedly was one of the great figures of his generation in India. Taken together, the two volumes cover the entire period of British rule in India,—from the battle of Plassey in 1757 to the commencement of the 20th century. No history of the people of India, of their trades, industries, and agriculture, and of their economic condition under British administration, has been compiled till then.
