Summary, etc. There are very few studies of India's pastoral communities, and those that exist relate mainly to ecology, livelihood and other aspects of material life. Religious Renunciation of a Pastoral People is original in exploring the non-Brahminical perspective on asceticism and renunciation. The work demonstrates a close relationship between the mode of livelihood of the pastoral Raikas (also known as Rabaris) of Rajasthan, and the tendency towards religious renunciation among them.<br/><br/>The Raikas have produced a large number of renouncers. These holy men have embraced either the Hindu or Jain renunciatory orders (sampradaya), highlighting the important interface between Hinduism and Jainism.<br/><br/>Srivastava asserts that each community in a plural world picks up elements from the repertoire of a cultural complex and assimilates them into its own lifestyle.<br/><br/>At another level, non-specialist readers and tourists will find interesting material here on the colorful lives led by the camel-herders of Rajasthan.
