India is a highly diverse country, home to a wide array of
languages, religions, and cultural traditions. Analyzing the
dynamic religious traditions of this democratic nation sheds light
on the complex evolution from India's past to today's modern
culture. Written by leading experts in the field, Religions of
India provides students with an introduction to India's vibrant
religious faiths. To understand its heritage and core values, the
beginning chapters introduce the indigenous Dharmic traditions of
Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, and Sikhism, while the later chapters
examine the outside influences of Zoroastrianism, Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam. These chapters are designed for
cross-religious comparison, with the history, practices, values,
and worldviews of each belief system explained. The final chapter
helps students relate what they have learnt to religious theory,
preparing the way for future study. This thoroughly revised second
edition combines solid scholarship with clear and lively writing to
provide students with an accessible and comprehensive introduction
to religion in India. This is the ideal textbook for students
approaching religion in Asia, South Asia, or India for the first
time. Features to aid study include: discussion questions at the
end of each chapter, images, a glossary, suggestions for further
reading, and an Companion Website with additional links for
students to further their study.
