EVOLUTION OF INDIAN POLITY

This book contains the series of ten lectures delivered by me on the "Evolution of Indian Polity" under the Presidency of the Hon. Dr. Sir Asutosh Mookerjee, President of the council of the Post-Graduate Studies in Arts at the Calcutta University in the months of March and April 1919. The first stage in the evolution, as detailed in the first lecture, is found universal and such as it requires no additional proof. The Institution of Elective Monarchy of Bachelor Kings begotten by priests on a family of queens or cows as they are called, is peculiar to India, and no other nation has as yet been found to have passed through the institution of bachelor kings to hereditary monarchy which forms the third stage in the evolution of Indian polity.
