For more than fifty years, students and teachers have made the
two-volume resource Sources of Indian Traditions their top pick for
an accessible yet thorough introduction to Indian and South Asian
civilizations. Volume 2 contains an essential selection of primary
readings on the social, intellectual, and religious history of
India from the decline of Mughal rule in the eighteenth century to
today. It details the advent of the East India Company, British
colonization, the struggle for liberation, the partition of 1947,
and the creation of Pakistan, Bangladesh, and contemporary India.
This third edition now begins earlier than the first and second,
featuring a new chapter on eighteenth-century intellectual and
religious trends that set the stage for India's modern development.
The editors have added material on Gandhi and his reception both
nationally and abroad and include different perspectives on and
approaches to Partition and its aftermath. They expand their
portrait of post-1947 India and Pakistan and add perspectives on
Bangladesh. The collection continues to be divided thematically,
with a section devoted to the drafting of the Indian constitution,
the rise of nationalism, the influence of Western thought, the
conflict in Kashmir, nuclear proliferation, minority religions,
secularism, and the role of the Indian political left. A phenomenal
text, Sources of Indian Traditions is more indispensable than ever
for courses in philosophy, religion, literature, and intellectual
and cultural history.
