Hardcover. Condición: New. This has been a dream venture of the author for the last more than three decades. It is an attempt to show directions for mapping religious histories of the Indian sub-continent over a period of several millennia - from the prehistoric times to c.1300 CE. It goes beyond conventional frontiers of an *Atlas by transcending narrow confines of the discipline of 'geography' by including such dimensions as "types of religions" and "anthropology of the sacred". How do topography and ecology and the so-called 'highland' and 'lowland' cultures affect cultic practices? Do religions act as "catalyst' for urban growth? Can any pattern be discerned in the origin and dispersal of Shiva, the Mahadeva and his followers? Why do Lord Rama and Lord Krishna emerge as avatars of Vishnu but Lord Ganesh and Devi Ganga respectively remain son and daughter of Shiva? How and why does Lakulish, allegedly the founder of the Pashupata sect of the Shaivas acquire a club in his hand after the eighth century CE in Karnataka? How do we account for iconographic changes in representations of deities across temporal and spatial axes? Why are Hero-stones more prolific in upland areas and relatively infrequent in the large agricultural tracts of the Indus and the Ganga valleys and in the agriculturally rich delta areas of the peninsula? Do the phenomena of Hero-stones and emergence of more than 3000 tirthas between c.600 and c.1300 CE have any links with the simultaneous proliferation of land grants to religious beneficiaries of varied hues? How does the tracking of inter-religious and intra-religious spaces help us in understanding strategies adopted by different religions vis-à-vis one another? This monograph seeks to answer such questions by suggesting ways of cartographic delineation of religious developments in early India. Problems of "locational context' and mapping 'portable antiquities* (including 'scattered' art remains in museums) have also been looked into. Data comprising of 6,000 entries on deities, religious epithets and structures, sites, monuments, sculptures and other art remains bearing on early Indian religions based on Epigraphia Indica, Corpus Inscription indicarum and Annual Reports of the Archaeological Survey of India (1902-03 to 1936-37) are being presented here. Two maps illustrating the modus operandi of this experimental exercise are also included in this monograph.…

Hardcover. Condición: New. The contemporary milieu of India is resonating with religious frenzy and attempts are being made to define India's identity in terms of exclusive and monolithic mould of 'Hinduism'. Political 'Hindutva' is being conflated with 'historical Hindusim' in a completely ahistorical manner. The non-brahmanical components of even 'historical Hinduism' are being sought to be downplayed or brahmanised. Given such a background, it becomes necessary that differing processes of the formation of several religious identities of Indian people through several millennia are unfolded and situated in their overall historical contexts. The present anthology is an attempt in that direction. Thirteen essays included in this anthology focus on ahistorical character of such historical consciousness that tends to delineate the identity of India exclusively on the basis of 'religion' ('Hinduism'). Second, all contributions are marked by the demonstration of the impact of material advancements and transformations on mutations in religious forms. The dynamics of interactions amongst brahmanical (braahmana) and non-brahmanical (shramana) cultural streams has been accorded due consideration. Similarly, dialectics of religion, ideology and society in the writings on Indian religions in the last two hundred years has also been highlighted. Fresh light has been thrown on the concepts of 'Dark Age' and 'Age of Reason'. The anthology highlights (a) absence of continuity between Harappan religions and Vedic religions; (b) transformations from 'Vedism' to 'brahmanism'; (c) fluidity and adaptability of religions in the so-called 'Dark Age' after c.200 BCE; (d) growth of Smaarta and Puranic religion; (e) hints of emergence of 'Hinduism' after the advent of the Turks; (f) persistence of heretical tendencies throughout the four millennia covered in these volumes; (g) inter-and intra-religious sectarian conflicts; and finally, (h) emergence of true spirit of religious identities in India. All studies have been situated in pan-India perspective.…
