About The Book: Studies in Pallava History (1933) by Rev. H. Heras is a seminal work that delves into the political, cultural, and architectural contributions of the Pallava dynasty, which ruled parts of present-day Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh from the 3rd to 9th centuries CE. Drawing upon extensive epigraphical and archaeological evidence, Heras offers a comprehensive analysis of the Pallava rulers, their military campaigns, and their patronage of art and religion. The book also examines the dynasty's interactions with neighboring powers and its enduring impact on South Indian history and culture. About The Author: Henry Heras (1888–1955) was a Spanish-Indian Jesuit priest, archaeologist, and historian who profoundly influenced Indian historiography and archaeology. Arriving in India in 1922, he taught history at St. Xavier's College, Mumbai, and founded the Indian Historical Research Institute in 1926, later renamed the Heras Institute of Indian History and Culture. His notable works include The Writing of History (1926), a foundational text on historical methodology; The Aravidu Dynasty of Vijayanagara (1927), detailing the last Hindu dynasty of the Vijayanagara Empire; and Studies in Proto-Indo-Mediterranean Culture (1953), proposing cultural links between the Indus Valley Civilization and ancient Mediterranean cultures. Heras also contributed to the study of the Pallava dynasty and the Jesuit conversion policies in India.
