This comprehensive volume delves into the multifaceted nature of Hinduism by examining ethnographic and philosophical evidence presented in the Journal of Anthropological Society of Bombay. Spanning from 1886 to 1936, the essays encompassed a transformative era marked by the rise of a European-educated native intelligentsia with a rationalist perspective. The chapters cover a diverse array of subjects, including Tree Worship in Mohenjo Daro, the origins of the Hindu Trimurti, the interpretation of Avestic and Vedic texts, as well as a second set of more localized chapters that explore the Muhammadan Castes of Bengal, the Tenets and Practices of a Certain Class of Faqirs in Bengal, the Theoretical History of the Goddess Yellamma, and much more.
Written during a pivotal historical and intellectual period that coincided with the Bengal Renaissance of the nineteenth century, this volume sheds light on how religions of all denominations have intermingled beliefs and practices from various sources. It highlights the enduring themes of tolerance, inclusiveness, and syncretism that have shaped India's religious and social history.
This book appeals to students and scholars of religions, history, anthropology, sociology, political science, and the sociology of religion. It also holds significance for those engaged in inter-religious dialogues and civil society. By exploring the pluralism and interconnectedness of Hinduism, this volume offers valuable insights into the complex tapestry of world religions and their impact on societies.
