Synopsis

The inscriptional evidences coming to light from the period between the 1st and 3rd centuries CE, presents a very complex picture of the society, when it appears that the rigid caste system prescribed by the Vedas was no more in practice by this time. All the religious as well as social divisions were jumbled up to give rise to a completely different culture in which the foreign elements were also imbibed. It was no doubt, a period of unprecedented social disorder and bewilderment, chiefly due to the incursion of the foreign traits along with the invading tribes. This book throws light on the information gathered solely from the available inscriptions engraved in India during the first three centuries of the Common Era regarding the education system, relationships, family structures, marriages, position of women and other aspects of the social behavior prevailing in the changing social structure during the period under consideration.
