About The book:- This book lists the historical inscriptions of Southern India collected till 1923 along with the outlines of political history. Inscriptions that are updated and those which mention only the regnal year of the ruler are generally omitted in this work, unless they possess some independent historical value, in which case then, they are gone into. For the ease of the students who wish to examine all known records of a particular prince, the author has created a voluminous index attached to the volume’s annual reports of the Epigraphical Department of the Archaeological Survey of South India. About The Author:- Robert Sewell (1845–1925) worked in the civil service of the Madras Presidency during the period of colonial rule in India. He was Keeper of the Madras Record Office and was tasked with responsibility for documenting ancient inscriptions and remains in the region. As with other British administrators of his type at that period, his purpose was not scholarly but rather to bolster administrative control by constructing a history that placed British rule as a virtue and a necessity rather than something to be denigrated. Portrayal of historic factionalism among local figureheads and dominion by alien despots would, it was thought, enhance the perception that only the British could rescue the country from its past.
