About the Book :- This rare book contains the substance of the Readership Lectures that the author originally intended to deliver at the Calcutta University early in 1920. The honor of a Readership at the university was bestowed upon him, in distinguished company at the instance of the ever-watchful president Sir Asutosh Mukherjee, whose exertions in the cause of Indian history and culture are too well-known and too well-founded to require any commendation from him, owing to official exigencies and ill-health it was impossible that he could carry out his engagement as originally intended. Among a certain number of subjects some contributions of South India to Indian Culture was selected as likely to be more attractive to the Calcutta University; and hence the effort in the book to lay before the public some of the main contributions to Indian Culture which South India could be credited having made in the course of her history.
