Summary, etc. | Due to the onslaught of the processes of modernization, the national goal<br/>of viable cultural synthesis in blending the traditional spirit of Hindu religion with the demands of<br/>modern democracy has frequently been questioned. Hinduism assumes<br/>that all religions teach the same essential truths and it espouses a strong tradition of freedom and<br/>tolerance of religious diversity. Over the past several decades, empirical<br/>studies have reflected upon the nature of Hinduism and its impact<br/>on the ongoing changes in Indian society<br/>The present volume, containing sixteen essays by well-known<br/>American and Indian social scientists, reflects upon the trends not only<br/>within Indian society but also outside India.<br/>The essays are divided into four categories. The first deals with the<br/>nature and emergent forms of religion, the second with popular<br/>myths, rituals and symbolism, the third focuses on the most recent<br/>work on mother goddess cults and the fourth on comparative and<br/>adaptive aspects of religion.The studies taken as a whole<br/>reveal religion as a regnant and dynamic force holding Indian society<br/>together, adapting to changes without redically altering its<br/>structure. |
