About this Item: Manohar, 2005. Soft cover. Condition: As New. "This is a revised and enlarged edition of the book first published in 1989. Seventeen well researched papers in the volume address important questions thrown up by contemporary research on Hinduism: Do conventional notions of Hinduism need to be reformulated on the basis of new evidence and modern theories? Is it prudent to interpret Hinduism without an inter-disciplinary and contextual approach. In short, what does Hinduism mean. The papers reflect a wide variety of opinions on what Hinduism means and help us better understand Hinduism which cannot be forced into watertight inflexible categories.".
