Glossary. Bibliography. Index. This work is a documentation and history of every aspect of the monumental interest in Punjab. It is made an attempt to reconstruct the history of Punjab on the basis of study of monuments. In total one hundred and one monuments have been studies. These monuments are of diverse nature and can be classified as Sarai, Kos minar, bridge, mosque, tomb, tank, garden, well, stepwell, palace-fort, baradari, aaramgah and coronation site. These monuments not only give information about the past, they have a utilitarian aspect too. These monuments, which are heritage of the nation, their preservation and attitude of people towards them reflect the sense of history of the nation. In the modern industrial world more and more people are feeling the need to find out about their immediate and distant past and this is likely to increase in the future. This enhances the moral duty for historians/archaeologists to secure as much information as possible about the past before it is destroyed. Future generation is likely to deplore the way-current societies are allowing much of their heritage to be destroyed without record. A society that ignores its past deserves to have no future. Profusely illustrated with maps, figures and photographs. The book embodies the latest researches on the subject and will fascinate not only historians, archaeologists scholars, students but also the tourists. (jacket). Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers 114033
