This first volume of Bhāratiya Itihās meṅ Śramaṇa Saṅskṛti ka Yogadān offers a carefully structured study of the śramaṇa traditions and their influence on Indian civilisation from the time of Lord Neminātha and Śrī Kṛṣṇa to the first century BCE. While numerous works exist in this field, this book distinguishes itself through its well-organised approach, clarity of expression, and faithful presentation of traditional Jain beliefs and historiography.

Footnotes and Illustrations
Detailed footnotes support each chapter; however, the absence of a bibliography of primary and secondary sources is a limitation that one hopes will be addressed in future editions. The book also includes eight black-and-white photographs of medium quality, offering visual context.
The book is meticulously composed and attractively printed. For students, researchers, and scholars specializing in Indian history—especially those interested in Jainism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and the broader śramaṇa traditions—this volume represents a significant resource. It will also appeal to readers seeking a more profound understanding of India’s cultural and spiritual heritage. Notably, it establishes that mūrti pūjā originates in Jainism.
