Synopsis The present work by the renowned Indian historian Professor S.R. Goyal provides a comprehensive post-Buddha history of Indian Buddhism. Though there are several monographs available on the history of Buddhism in India but none of them seeks, as the present work does, to study the history of this religion against the background of India’s cultural evolution and delineate its impact on the contribution to various facets of Indian culture. Further, most of the works dealing with the history of Indian Buddhism stop with the disappearance of Buddhism after the establishment of the Turkish rule in c. 1200 A.D. while the present monograph studies the fortunes of this religion in India upto the movement led by Baba Saheb Ambedkar. We, therefore, believe that it will be received enthusiastically by scholars and students of Indian Buddhism as a comprehensive work on the subject with a new approach from an authoritative pen.
