First published in 1948, Hinduism presents an introductory outline of the story of Hinduism from the earliest times, and paves the way for further and more detailed study, as well as interests the general reader. It intends to exhibit Hinduism as an event rather than as something static; as an organism, developing, reforming itself, and even changing and absorbing new elements, rather than as a rigid creed, or even as a survival from the past. This book will be of interest to students of religion, history and South Asian studies.
