During the past two years, the compilation and preparation of this volume to commemorate the seventieth birthday of Dr.B.P. Radhakrishna, my mentor, has been the greatest pleasure and satisfying work for me. DK .Radhakrishna has contributed immensely to the understanding of Precambrian rocks during the last forty years. He has explored and mapped these rocks and provided a basic framework of knowledge on which his students could work with more sophisticated tools. It was the great desire of his students, friends, co-workers and admirers that a volume in his honour should be brought out to mark his selfless and dedicated service to the field of the earth sciences. Through his work and efforts, the Dharwar Craton of India is now as well known to earth scientists as those of Swaziland or Pilbara. Dr.Hadhakrishna has devoted his entire life to the study of Precambrian rocks; therefore, it is befitting that the present volume is devoted to studies related to the Precambrian continental crust and its economic resources.
Since 1964, the time when the Upper Mantle Project was started, the Precambrian continental crust has been studied in considerable detail in many areas. Multidisciplinary studies with modern tools and techniques have been used at increasing levels of accuracy. The Precambrian continental crust has been subjected to several thermal events and multiple episodes of deformation. These events have obliterated the scenario produced by early events and present-day efforts are directed to evaluating the cause-effect processes of each event. How far back the known geological processes of the Phanerozoic can be extended into the Precambrian is one of the main questions before us. The present volume provides some more data and interpretations towards finding the answer to some of these questions.
