The book comprises six lectures delivered by the author during the William Meyer Lectures at Madras University from 1929 to 1930. These lectures cover various topics, including the distinct identity of South India, political ideas and ideals, and detailed examinations of administration during the Pallava and Chola empires. The content explores the general political concepts, Kural polity, and the evolution of administrative practices in these historical contexts. This edition is a reprint of the original published in 1931. Diwan Bahadur Sakkottai Krishnaswamy Aiyangar, an influential Indian historian and Dravidologist, chaired the Department of Indian History and Archaeology at the University of Madras from 1914 to 1929. Born in 1871 near Kumbakonam, he pursued his education in Madras and began his career as a lecturer in Bangalore from 1899 to 1909. Aiyangar was recognized for his innovative approaches to interpreting the history of Vijayanagar and his methodology is regarded as distinctly Indian nationalistic. He became a member of the Royal Asiatic Society in 1908 and received the title "Diwan Bahadur" in 1928. Aiyangar passed away in 1946 at the age of 76. The title reflects his significant contributions to understanding Hindu administrative institutions in South India.
