Next he has devoted himself to the study of the history of administration, nature of the state, social life, education and literature, economic life, religious life, and architecture, art and craft of the Cāļukya period at great length in detail in a traditional manner, still one finds a point missing i. e, the actual position of the common Cāļukyan people in the society. "In any age of any society the study of history, like other social activities, is governed by the dominant tendencies of the time and the place."
I cogratulate Dr. Murari for his dispassionate and unbiased judgement of the past events of the history of the Caļukyas.
