Most overviews of Hindu belief and practice follow a history from
the ancient Vedas to today. Such approaches privilege Brahmanical
traditions and create a sense of Hinduism as a homogenous system
and culture, and one which is largely unchanging and based solely
on sacred texts. In reality, modern Hindu faith and culture present
an extraordinary range of dynamic beliefs and practices.
"Contemporary Hinduism" aims to capture the full breadth of the
Hindu worldview as practised today, both in the sub-continent and
the diaspora. Global and regional faith, ritualised and everyday
practice, Brahmanical and non-Brahmanical belief, and ascetic and
devotional traditions are all discussed. Throughout, the discussion
is illustrated with detailed case material and images, whilst key
terms are highlighted and explained in a glossary. "Contemporary
Hinduism" presents students with a lively and engaging survey of
Hinduism, offering an introduction to the oldest and one of the
most complex of world religions.
