Travancore a southern state of India was well known in early times.Nevertheless its early history ,extent of its territory,and other particulars are mostly buried in obscurity, owing to the non-existence of a corrected and detailed history of the kingdom.Travancore under the mother-country Mandala kingdom chera, covered the best portion of southern India.It is perhaps the only kingdom in India which preserves its original caste,religion customs,manners,institutions etc.Its institutions were never effected by the mahomedan conquest.This tremendous work carries the reader through the history of travancore very swiftly.It is the only authoritative work available on this most remarkable part of Indian empire.The author has collected the complete information and details from original sources where the public had no access and form the royal archives.This is an immensely useful work for every student of Indian history.
