About The Book: "Some Aspects of Ancient Hindu Polity," delivered as a lecture in February 1925 by D. R. Bhandarkar, examines the intricacies of political structures in ancient Hindu society. This work dissects governance models found in early Hindu texts, such as the Vedas, Dharmashastras, and the Arthashastra, highlighting the evolution of governance from tribal to more structured state systems over centuries. Bhandarkar's analysis provides a deep dive into ancient concepts of kingship, judicial systems, and civic duties, emphasizing their sophisticated nature and their impact on later Indian political theories. His lecture, later published as a book, remains a valuable resource for scholars studying ancient Indian governance and its influence on modern polity.
