The Deccan, south of the Vindhyas up to the Krishna-Tungabhadra Basin, a part of Peninsular India, was famous during the 11th to 18th centuries for its sculpture, history and especially for its importance in diamond mining and cutting. A majority of the present generation are unaware of the importance of the Deccan and its role in the cultural and societal advancement, in the export of diamonds, its handlooms, its rich biodiversity, wildlife, and its literature, civilization and gold exploration. This collection of articles reflects the past glory of the region and hopes to regenerate interest among students and professionals.
