________________ "Both Indian & Western scholars & researchers have recently become aware of the need of reinterpretation of the classical philosophical thought, because it is precisely amenable to such reinterpretation. "In every epoch, there is importance and universal relevance of any classical thought, philosophical or otherwise. The present work aims at a critical study of the Jain theory of ultimate atom (Paramanu Pudgala), in light of modern scientific theory. The work is certainly important and the author needs to be congratulated. The chapter giving the development of the scientific thought, upto latest development of the high energy physics, is both concise and precise. Coming as it does from a student of science, it has come upto an expectation. The author's efforts is commendable, precisely because it gives to a student of philosophy, in a compact form, the gist of the development of scientific thought upto what is called particle physics, and for this, any student of philosophy should be grateful to him.... "...... The book deserves a serious attention of readers because the account of modern scientific thought given in it is good and also because the Jain philosophy that it has explained are indeed praiseworthy. We unhasitatingly recommend it to readers." - Review in the Annals of Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute Pune, LVII, (1976), pp. 273, 278
