This book offers a contemporary approach to the study of religion
in modern South Asia. It explores the development of religious
ideas and practices in the region, giving students a clear and
critical understanding of social, political and historical context.
Part One takes a fresh look at some familiar themes in the study of
religion, such as deity, authoritative texts, myth, worship,
teacher traditions and caste, and helps students understand diverse
ways of approaching these themes. Part Two focuses on some of the
key ways in which Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam and Sikhism in South
Asia have been shaped in the modern period. Overall the book
considers the impact of gender, politics, and the way religion
itself is variously understood. The chapters contain a compelling
range of primary source materials and a series of geographical and
historical 'snapshots' to orientate readers to South Asia. Valuable
features for students include images, task boxes, discussion
points, suggestions for further reading, a timeline and glossary of
terms.
