| Summary: | As a scholarly study of a subject overlooked and neglected for too long, this collection of essays is a major contribution to the existing voluminous and rich literature on law and religion. A special feature of the study is the editors' ability to provide not only a comprehensive overview of Hindu law and traditions spanning the ancient, medieval, colonial, and modern periods but also an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective, all within 300+ pages. A glossary, chronology, list of abbreviations, and bibliography are helpful additions for a reader not familiar with Indic texts and timing of the events. |
