History of Dharmasastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law) Vol. I

Authored by Pandurang Vaman Kane, this book is the first attempt at a single-handed survey of the whole field of Dharmasastra. From this point of view, this volume partakes of the nature of a pioneer undertaking. Therefore, this book manifests the defects of the earlier pioneer works. The latter part of the book discusses how many regulations of dharmasastra are still alive and govern the every-day life of Hindus to a great extent.
