Why do Hindus revere the cow? Must Hindus be vegetarian? Hinduism
is the world's oldest religion, yet the word 'Hindu' was never used
before the 18th century by Hindus to describe themselves. it is
defined as polytheistic, but Gandhi declared that a Hindu needn't
believe in any god. it is a religion as much of myth as of history
- it has no founder, no single authoritative book, even few central
doctrines. Introducing Hinduism offers a guide to the key
philosophical, literary, mythological and cultural traditions of
the extraordinarily diverse faith. It untangles the complexities of
Hinduism's gods and goddesses, its caste system and its views on
sex, everyday life and asceticism. Vinay Lal and Borin Van Loon's
hugely enjoyable tour through Hinduism also explores its links with
and differences from Buddhism, Jainism and other religions, the
resurgence of Hindu extremism, the phenomenon of Bollywood and the
overseas Hindu diaspora.
