Description

A handy guide to every religion practised in India. The Religions of India contains, in a single volume, a comprehensive account of every major faith practised in the country today - Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism, Christianity, Buddhism, Jainism, Zoroastrianism, Judaism and the Bahai faith. This meticulously researched work traverses a vast range of topics - from Somnatha Temple and Babri Masjid to Tirthankaras and the Akali Movement; from the Shariat and the Eucharist to Shabuoth and nirvana. It places each religion in its historical context, tracing its evolution from its inception to the present.
