Critique
xix of Buddhism as the Khāravela's Hāthīgumphā Inscription is for that of Jainism and it arouses many questions as to the correct interpretation of the passages of scripture referred to and the relations of church and state under Asoka's regime. Here, too, Dr. Shashi Kant has produced new theories of great importance.

Dr. Shashi Kant has made an unbiased study of the two important inscriptions. His approach is new and critical.

Dr. Shashi Kant has studied these two important inscriptions critically. The book will go a long way in dispelling several wrong conceptions pertaining to the subject.

The approach is scholarly but Dr. Shashi Kant's deep understanding of the subject has made the contents intelligible even to the average reader.
