In this book the author has presented a view of ancient Indian Culture and Civilisation as seen in some of their best representatives. It gives a reality and concreteness to what may appear to be the some what shadowy and abstract ideals of Indian thought. The history of Hindu India is very well represented in five characters brought together here. Each of them presents as aspect of India thought and life. Yajnavalkya is the typical and most historical example of Vedic thought the foundation head and perhaps the high water mark, too of the entire stream of Indian thought.
