The importance of the Scythian/Saka power in the annals of the ancient Orient is apparently clear from the numerous widely known sources (both literary and archaeological) alluding to them. In the present work, all relevant sources, both archaeological and literary, have been taken into account. The Asian connections of the Scythian culture, which were formerly not easily traceable, are now studied with fresh perspectives as revealed by new archaeological data.
Presently, Dr. Ray is teaching in the Department of Ancient Indian History and Culture, University of Calcutta, Kolkata.
The diacritical marking Saka/Saka has been used only in the Indian context.
I am grateful to my teachers, colleagues and students. I specially thank Prof. Yaroslav Vasilkov of the Institute of Oriental Studies, St. Petersburg, Prof. Guriev, and Prof. J.D. Kimball of the Centre for Eurasian Studies for Nomads, Berkeley, U.S.A. I am equally beholden to Dr. Arundhuti Banerji and Dr. Rupendra Kumar Chattopadhyay. I am also grateful to Dr. Purabi Ray, Surja Sankar Ray and Riddh Sankar Ray.
I wish to thank my family for their active cooperation especially my brothe Dr. Kshounish Sankar Ray, my sister-in-law Dr. Sucharita Ray and my mothe Dr. Jayasree Ray.
