Summary: This is a translation of the original French edition published by Flammarion. The author states that the Hindu religion, because of its many facets, is often regarded as a mixture of many components. However, the archaeological monuments and literary texts of the past few centuries indicate, to the contrary, a certain unity. In this book, Professor Biardeau uses these testimonies of Hindu civilization (the most important of which are socio-religious in nature) in an attempt to bring to light their underlying unity.
