500			_aThe book is structured in 12 chapters, each being independent by itself but which, collectively, present the history of human-plant interaction in India, primarily based on the archaeobotanical evidences. Despite it being a technical subject, it has been dealt with in a very lucid and simple manner to provide maximum information for the benefit of general reader. Thus, in the first five chapters, the process of beginning of agriculture from the non-archaeological primitive background has been reviewed in the global context. The subsequent chapters are devoted to the beginning of agriculture in different regions of the Indian subcontinent, starting from Indus valley, north India, east and northeast India, central India and the Deccan, Ganga Valley and the Vindhya and the peninsular south. The book concludes with the recapitulation of the main topics taken up in the study.
