Hinduism and Tribal Religions

Hinduism and Tribal Religions
Explores Hinduism in India in dynamic interaction with other religions of Indian origin and with religions which did not originate in India but have been a major feature of its religious landscape. It also covers Hinduism’s close association with Tribal Religions, sometimes called Primal Religions, the phenomenon of Hinduism in the diaspora, the modern Hindu need for a rational rather than a devotional or traditional exposition of the religion, and the pan-Indian need for information to address the stereotypes which characterize the presentation of Hinduism in academia and the media, especially in the West. Published book in the Encyclopedia of Indian Religions series and a Living Reference Work (continuously updated). Online Access via SpringerLink.
