Pathak, Dean, College of Social Sciences and Humanities for his co-operation, and to our friend, Dr. L.P. Mathur, for his. valuable suggestions in the publication of the book.
My thanks are also due to Dr. R.M. Lodha, a Scholar of Geography and a renowned expert on environmental studies, for his assistance in the work of editing of this book.
I should also like to express my thanks to Ashish Publishing House, New Delhi, the publisher of the book for taking pains and interest in timely printing of the book.
I crave indulgence to the scholars and readers for not using the diacritical marks in the book as these could not be printed due to technical problem of the press. However, such words are printed in different types.
“Leshya-tree” printed on the cover represents six kinds of man's desires. It also suggests that we should not destroy the wealth of nature for our comforts. This
