Contrary to popular belief, there is an astonishing quantity of creative upsurge of writing in Sanskrit today which is qualitatively of such high order that it can easily compare with Sanskrit writing in any century, including the Golden age of Sanskrit. Sanskrit being a Pan Indian Language, the writers are spread out along the length and breadth of the country. There are more than three thousand works available, which are of a very high standard produced during the 20 century. An attempt is made in the present work to highlight the contribution of 250 Twentieth century Indian Sanskrit poets who have made a significant contribution to one or the other form of creative writings in Sanskrit, which convincingly disproves the criticism of some critics that Sanskrit is a dead language.

In volume I, the work is divided into eleven sections based on chronology dealing with the period 1875-1970.
