This captivating book delves into the intricate dynamics of religious studies in India, exploring the fascinating interplay between the country's vibrant religious life and the scarcity of comparative and social scientific religious studies programs in its universities. It sheds light on the pioneering efforts of figures such as Rabindranath Tagore in Santiniketan and Mohan Malaviya in Varanasi to introduce and institutionalize religious studies in India.

Its comprehensive analysis and thoughtful recommendations provide a valuable roadmap for understanding the multifaceted nature of religion in India and its potential for fostering intercultural dialogue and promoting social cohesion.
