1)Chandragupta Maurya and His Times :- This is a comprehensive work dealing with the life and times of India’s first historical emperor, and a picture of the civilization of India in the early period of the fourth century BC. The author while enlightening on the origin and early life, conquests and chronology, administration, ideals, divisions, presents the reader in the court of first historical emperor of India, duly attended by his popular ministers and officers and acquaints the student with the rules of service and administrative departments. Land system and rural administration is surveyed along with the municipal administration of the times. Justice personified in the King appears before us along with the huge divisions of the army to maintain it. Social and economic conditions have been so elaborately discussed as to cause surprise and curiosity. As a matter of fact the author takes the reader back to the golden times as if by magic. To render the matter easily accessible to the reader an Index of subjects, an Index of Technical Terms, three Appendices and a plate of typical Mauryan coins, have also been added. This work is meant to fill up a gap in the knowledge of Ancient India.

2)The Gupta Empire :- The present work describes the material and moral progress which India had achieved during the paramount sovereignty of the Gupta emperors in the fourth and fifth centuries A.D. It traces the origin and rise of the ruling family to Srigupta (240-280 A.D.) and concludes with the reign of Kumaragupta III (543 A.D.). It discusses the spirit of the age and the various trends in the sphere of Religion, Economy, Society, Education, Administration, Art and Architecture. It seeks to bring together all the facts and data derivable from different sources literary, epigraphic and numismatic, the accounts of foreign visitors, particularly of the Chinese pilgrim Fa-hien who has left a detached and valuable record of India’s civilization during the reign of Chandragupta II. Herein we get an accurate picture of India’s golden age, the growth of her various institutions, her activities of expansion, colonization and her intercourse with Indonesia, China and other countries. The work is divided into sixteen chapters. It has an index of proper names and an addenda on the hoard of new Imperial Gupta coins discovered at Bayana in Bharatpur. The work is very interesting and instructive and is designed to meet the requirements of the academic student of history and the general reader alike.

3)The Fundamental Unity of India :- This book attempts to study the fundamental unity of India mainly confined to its geographical basis. The author published an article in dawn and dawn society’s magazine in 1909 and later in the modern review in April. Written by the most renowned author with a comprehensive and critical introduction by J Ramsay Macdonald. This work is first of its kind by the learned scholar giving fitting reply to existing view that India had no unity.

4)Men and Thought in Ancient India :- This book men and thought in ancient India by veteran author is an attempt to examine ancient Indian culture and civilisation as seen in some of their representatives, as it is rightly held that the history of the world may be well studied as the biography of its representative men. The history of Indian thought is very well represented in the characters brought together in this work. Each of these – Yajnavalkya, Buddha, Asoka, Samudragupta and Harsha presents an aspect of Indian thought and life. This rare and monumental work is extremely important for students, teachers, general readers and for making happy, healthy and prosperous new India. Maps, illustrations and an exhaustive index make it an asset for researchers as well.
