520			_aTHIS comparative study of the pro blems of segreCgation in Tndia and America is a pioncer research of in- temational importance. The author propounds a new theory quite Con vincingly that Panchamas were rulers of Mlecha (Buddhist) countries. When these countries were conquered and subjugated by the Brahmin rulers of India, they were made slaves and untouchables under Brahmin domina tion. Contradictory concepts of basic legal principles of property and rule of law between Brahmin and Buddhist coun- tries resulted ultimately in the degra- datica of Buddhists in Iadia to the status of Untouchables thereby deny- ing them the basic right of acquisition of property, like the Negroes in America. Proprietary status concern- ing these unfortunate classes have been thoroughly discussed in the book. The scrutiny of the educa- tional segregation of the Negroes and the Untouchables makes a great con- tribution to the knowledge and theo- ries of Jurisprudence. The author's discussion of the legal, historical, and constitutional aspects of segregation and desegregation, with special reference to the segregated classes of Indian society, reveals ori- ginality of thouglht and expression and a high level of scholarship. The book formulates a programme to be considered by the leaders and administrators desirous of solving this problem. The extensive research on many problems will be very useful for historians, politicians, scholars, social workers, and universities because be- sides touching upon problems of segre- gation and desegregation it also deals with the forces and principles govern- 1ng society and its evolution.
