About the Book
This volume is part of the second series of the National Bibliography of Indian Literature undertaken by Sahitya Akademi, covering the period from 1954 to 2000. Designed as a comprehensive reference resource, the bibliography documents books of literary merit and lasting value published in Indian languages during this important post-independence period. The series is planned in multiple volumes and serves scholars, librarians, publishers, booksellers, and readers interested in Indian literary publications.

The work systematically records literary and allied publications issued between 1 January 1954 and 31 December 2000. It reflects the diversity and richness of Indian literature across languages and provides a structured tool for research and documentation. The project aims to preserve bibliographic information and support academic studies by offering reliable references for researchers working on Indian literary traditions.

Prepared by Z. A. Burney, an experienced bibliographer and scholar, the volume benefits from his expertise in cataloguing and literary research. A former Selection and Cataloguing Officer at the Library of Congress Office in India, Burney has contributed to studies in Urdu and Indian literature. The project also draws on scholarly collaboration, making this bibliography an important contribution to documenting Indian literary heritage.
