| Summary: | In An Unholy Brew: Alcohol in Indian History and Religions, James McHugh presents "a detailed survey of drinks, drinking, and ideas about drinking in premodern India" (2), making it the first monography devoted to this significant lacuna in scholarship. In so doing, the author offers a novel vision of premodern India—one that acknowledges the enormous diversity of Indian approaches to making, consuming, and representing alcoholic drinks. In constructing this vision, McHugh analyses an extensive range of Sanskrit sources dating from the Vedic era to the colonial period. |
