Présentation de l'éditeur :
This is a most welcome, timely, and authoritative assessment of the entire field of study, a most commendable response to an enormous challenge. Journal of Contemporary Religion
It effectively serves to condense the proliferation of scholarship on Hinduism... The approach is interdisciplinary and places Hinduism not within a sphere of its own, but within a larger context, reading it as a dynamic product of historical global exchange. The Blackwell Companion to Hinduism also has an important section devoted to the Indian Sciences (language, mathematics, astrology, astronomy and medicine) which collectively destabilize colonialism s claim that Hinduism was arbitrary and irrational. A handsome addition to academic and personal libraries. Asian Studies Review

It provides a forum for the best scholars in the world to make their views and research available to a wider audience.
