Nowadays fundamental changes have taken place in the concept of history. It is no longer a mere compilation of activities of the royal families, instead it has been linked with the activities of common people resulting in the gradual development of society and the state. Peasants are linked with those common people on whom the foundation of the economy rests. These peasants have been the tools of civilization and production on whose labour economic development of any country depends. This book “Conditions of Peasants in India (200 – 600 AD)” highlights the conditions of those peasants – that how the socio-economic and cultural composition of those peasants changed, how the emergence of landed intermediaries took place owing to the system of land grants. Subjection of peasantry and how the process of production was effected.
