Summary
The review section of the journal covers a wide range of recent publications in Indology and related fields. Scholars evaluate works on South Indian inscriptions, histories of Karnataka, translations of Sanskrit and Pali texts, studies on the philosophy of Yoga and political histories. Each review summarises the contents of the book, assesses its methodology, and comments on its contribution to scholarship. Some reviews praise the meticulous editing of epigraphic collections; others criticise authors for inadequate use of sources or for speculative conclusions. The section functions as a barometer of the state of Indian historical studies in the early 1930s, revealing interests in chronology, philology, art history and religious studies.
