The study of Indian palaeography grew out of necessity for deciphering the large number of inscriptions found in the sub-continent. The present work is intended to explain the difficulty, to redefine palaeography in the context of our technological advances and to seek, through its study, a better understanding of the civilization of South Asia. The book covers a wide field and deals with written materials from the earliest period to the 8th century AD found all over this far-flung area, and it explains, with the help of figures and charts, the interrelation of the cultures to the various zones. This second edition carries a new preface with a section of Indian Numerals.
