Summary, etc. Among the written archaeological sources, epigraphic documents have generally been considered the most reliable as they are often contemporary to the period they talk about and, unlike textual sources, they have not been subjected to revisions and interpolations The huge corpus of epigraphic literature found from different parts of the Indian subcontinent forms a major source for understanding various aspects of early Indian society, religion, economy and culture, besides dynastic and political history Epigraphic sources have been used extensively for reading early Indian history. Indian epigraphy is a very specialised area of study in itself and also a principal medium for understanding India's past. Ancient Indian inscriptions provide information on the contemporary rulers such as Shungas, Satavahanas, Shakas, Kushanas, Guptas, and Hunas etc. Inscription is a text created by cutting letters into a solid surface, however the inscription's real content can be anything. Some inscriptions include edicts, while others are published or made public in the form of inscriptions. This book is an attempt at a connected history of Indian epigraphy setting forth in clear terms the varied trends and traditions that constitute one artistic whole. The author has traced the history of Indian epigraphy from the beginning to the mediaeval times bringing within his scope a vast field of study.
