as a purely Indian religion, Buddhism became an international movement The imperative need of the hour is to provide all facilities to the students of religious studies for thorough, objective and scientific study of all religions This will serve two purposes Firstly, by extending the frontiers of knowledge, we will bave better and quicker social developments and secondly, we will be able to remove all fetters in tbe path of such developments, like supersitions, obscurantism and so on I am glad that Dr Sanghasen Singh has performed his task well in successfully organising these lectures and editing them on behalf of Shri Ra Krishen Jain Memorial Lectures Committee of the University.
