| General note | This book provides a much-needed thematic and historical introduction to Hinduism the religion of the majority of people in India. Dr Flood traces the development of Hindu traditions from their ancient origins and the major deities to the modern world. Hinduism is discussed as both a global religion and a form of nationalism. Emphasis is given to the tantric traditions which have been so influential; to Hindu ritual more fundamental than beliefs or doctrines; and to Dravidian influencesn. Some debates within contemporary scholarship are introduced. |
