A BOOK REVIEW
The book Aspect of Jainology and Buddhist Studies is a felicitation volume in the honour of Professor Prem Suman Jain an eminent authority to oriental studies, is edited by Dr Jinendra Jain. The book has myriad characteristics but one of them is to present an overall outlook on the huge scholarly work which has been performed by the Honâble Professor Prem Suman Jain in the duration of 35 years. It was pious commitment of his worthy students like Dr. Jinendra Jain devoted to studies of oriental learning to highlight the valuable works of his Guru. This commitment came into existence as a consequence of constant persuation and an uninterrupted approach to scholars who are also devoted in the field of oriental studies.

For the good representation, the book has been classified in three main parts. The first part represents Professor Prem Suman Jain: Personality and Contributions. The second part of the book makes us aquintant with the latest scholarly research articles written by Professor Prem Suman Jain. In this part only his ten (10) articles have been compiled by the editor. The third part is the biggest one, which represents the articles given by the different well-known scholars purposely in the honour of Professor Jain. Comprising all these three parts, this book has become a valuable tretise that not only highlights the scholarly work by the Professor Jain but it also represents the thought provoking articles of many eminent scholars. One cannot help without the praise to Dr Jinendra Jain, the editor of the book for his skill in editing. The book begins from the thoughts of the persons closely related with Professor Jain and the thoughts revealed by the erudities on his life. In the same continuation the reviewes on the selected books by Professor Jain have been brought out. In this way the first part of the book elucidates Professor Jainâs personality and his unmeasurable contribution to the field of oriental studies. It also makes us acquintant with this truth that Professor Jain has equal command over whole Shramana tradition viz. Jainism and Buddhism. He is well known grammarian at Prakrit language.
