As it is evident from the text, the theme deals with tribes scattered in all the regions of our sub-continent. Taking their birth in the far flung areas, mainly in deep forests and hills, they depict our ancient culture and civilisation which they maintain even upto this day. The effect of the modern culture did not change their firm beliefs in their heritage. Indeed their contribution in the socio-economic and cultural life of India is unique in many ways and one feels proud to mix them and share their innocence in daily life for teaching, students and scholars engaged in understanding our ancient culture preserved for centuries by our tribal folk.

The theme deals with our ancient and modern folklore prevalent in several regions of our sub-continent. They depict the social aspect of a common man and women engaged in several complex problems of the world. These are mostly narrated and sung with a melodious voice either by a male or female at various occasions. Several of them are romantic in contents and depict the feeling of the person who waits with agony in his or heart for some one whom preferential treatment is to be accorded at any cost. The verses, sometime, are captivating in contents. The book would be useful for teachers, scholars and students engaged in knowing more about the mode of our rural life and the simplicity with which it is coloured with innocent urges and responses.

The period after World War I was the period of great political expectations in India as a result of the announcement of 20th August, 1917 of the government of Great Britain opening a fresh chapter in the history of British relationship with India. The new policy announced was to introduce responsible government into the administration of the vast Indian sub continent. The declaration also reserved to itself the right to judge as to the time and stages through which the political institutions would have to pass before the goal of dominion status was reached. It also refused to envisage the immediate grant of self government which Indian opinion so loudly demanded. The new policy was the subject of debate throughout the country at various forums. The ball had been set rolling. Several years later, the All Parties Conference discussed the question of self-government and was charged with the duty of determining the principles of the constitution for India. The report submitted by the Committee warned that any novel proposal generated by the Simon Commission would provoke a storm of opposition, the like of which had not been experienced before. The present effort by the eminent author was to place before the Conference and British Government certain factors underlying the immediate realization of full responsible government on which emphasis had to be laid. The question of types of government, federal or unitary, franchise, adult suffrage, the constitution of the second chamber, the division of functional between the State and the Commonwealth organizations that were to be set up, the redistribution of the provinces on a linguistic, sectarian or religions basis and the administrative services required has been discussed in great depth by the author. The problems have been analysed giving merits and demerits of the solutions or the ways out. These must have weighed heavily not only with the British government but also with the framers of the present constitution of India. The author hoped that England would respond to the just aspirations of Indian people as England and India, united and free, would be the safest pledge for the future peace of might hasten a revolution which might burn both.

Inspite of constitutional prerogatives the progress in the field of agriculture has not been satisfactory. This book widely discusses about our country's approach to agriculture Land problems with critical analysis. Also the controversy over property rights pertaining to agricultural land is one of the central themes of our constitutional development particularly after independence. The statutory and legal matters akin to the field of land reforms are also dealt with. The successive Governments in India since Independence are unable to introduce radical land reforms. In this book, it is evidently proved that in the absence of morally, faith, trust and Dharma, such successive legislations would become useless and purposeless.
