Excerpt from Preliminary Report on the Operation in Search of Mss; Of Bardic Chronicles Baroda. - When I visited Baroda there was an all-india Literary Conference sitting there. I was introduced to the meeting, and the meeting appreciated the object of my visit. The Maharaja granted me a private interview and assured me that his Dewan would give me every facility if I came there again in search for Bardic Chronicles. I saw there a collection of 45 Bardic songs concerning the Gaekwar Family kept in the library of the Education Department, Baroda.

India has been the homeland of diverse manuscript traditions that do not cease to impress scholars for their imposing size and complexity. Nevertheless, many topics concerning the study of Indian manuscript cultures still remain to receive systematic examination. Of Gods and Books pays attention to one of these topics - the use of manuscripts as ritualistic tools. Literary sources deal quite extensively with rituals principally focused on manuscripts, whose worship, donation and preservation are duly prescribed. Around these activities, a specific category of ritual gift is created, which finds attestations in pre-tantric, as well as in smārta and tantric, literature, and whose practice is also variously reflected in epigraphical documents. De Simini offers a first systematic study of the textual evidence on the topic of the worship and donation of knowledge. She gives account of possible implications for the relationships between religion and power. The book is indsipensible for a deeper understanding of the cultural aspects of manuscript transmission in medieval India, and beyond.

Canvas of the Chauhan King’s life has been unfurled. From the desert of Bikampur to beyond the Chambal ravines. Shiwalik hills to the peaks of Aravali. This book flies with the undaunted Prithviraj, witnessing the formation of history. It locks horns with his controversies and observes their vast ramifications at the curves of Indian destiny. The author acknowledges a widening divide between facts and the current mainstream narrative on Prithviraj who is a brand ambassador of India's engrossing medieval History. With this work, Virendra has eyed to shoot down every myth about Prithviraj and free the young Indian hero’s truth from the claws of fringe camps of new and old propaganda. The book makes use of more than 100 authentic sources to substantiate it's data and applies methodical theory formation to put forth its arguments.
