<p class="ABOUTBOOKAI"> A major contribution toward the ongoing debates on the nature and history of Hinduism in India</strong><br /> <br /> Is Hinduism coherent, or should it be viewed as a conglomeration of many distinctive traditions? What were (or are) its most important and central teachings? When did the idea of &ldquo;Hinduism&rdquo; first arise and what have been the consequences? What were the effects of British rule on the religion and what are the effects of continuing modernization? <p class="ABOUTBOOKAI">This book responds to all such debates surrounding Hinduism in the colonial and contemporary periods. It emphasizes on Hinduism as it arose and developed in the subcontinent itself&mdash;an approach which facilitates greater attention to detail and an understanding of the specific context in which new movements and changes have taken place. <p class="ABOUTBOOKAI"> <div>&nbsp;</div>
