In this collection of essays in literary art with historical context, Prof. Kurundkar has included few articles related to Maratha history, history of philosophy and history of Indian materialism along with other. One article traces the history of Indian music from Bharatmuni to medieval ages and examines the claim that modern classical Indian music is fundamentally different than traditional one.
