Civilisation and their phases, the methods used for the development of people-all have been dealt within a comprehensive way. The volumes are fairly readable on account of rich details given in them. The comprehensive details deal with the political philosophy, the epic society, original home to the Aryans, the system of administration, music and musicians, the functioning of Royal court, women and marriage, food and drink, the State Council and the reforming zeal depicted by famous Indian social reformers.
