Textul de pe ultima copertă
The
Encyclopedia
of
Indian
Religions
offers
a
complete
overview
of
Hinduism
and
all
other
religions
found
in
India
and
the
Diaspora,
such
as
Buddhism,
Jainism,
Sikhism,
Islam,
Christianity,
Judaism
and
so
on.
It
is
strongly
characterized
by
two
special
features,
each
pertaining
to
the
fact
that
Hinduism
is
closely
associated
with
India
but
has
now
become
global
in
its
reach.
In
relation
to
Hinduism
in
India,
it
views
Hinduism
not
in
isolation
but
in
dynamic
interaction,
first
with
other
religions
of
Indian
origin
and
then
with
religions
which
did
not
originate
in
India
but
have
been
a
lasting
feature
of
its
religious
landscape,
namely,
Islam
and
Christianity
and,
to
a
lesser
extent,
Zoroastrianism
and
Judaism.
Secondly,
the
encyclopedia
seriously
takes
into
account
the
phenomenon
of
Hinduism
in
the
Diaspora.
The
Indian
Diaspora
is
now
beginning
to
make
its
presence
felt,
both
in
India
and
abroad.
In
India,
the
Indian
government
annually
hosts
a
Diaspora
event
called
Pravasi
Bharatiya
Divas
(PBD),
in
recognition
of
the
growing
importance
of
the
20
million
strong
Diaspora.
And
the
role
it
is
playing
in
the
computer
software
industry
around
the
world
is
well
known.
Although
not
all
Indians
are
Hindus,
most
are,
both
in
India
and
abroad.
A
strong
sense
of
Hindu
identity
is
emerging
among
diasporic
Hindus.
This
has
lead
to
an
increasing
amount
of
research
on
Hindu
traditions
and
Indian
identity,
and
the
relation
of
Hinduism
with
other
world
religions.
The
Encyclopedia
of
Indian
Religions
will
fill
the
need
for
information
and
clarification
of
modern
day
Hinduism
and
Hindu
history
and
traditions
to
Hindus
in
the
Diaspora.
Three
main
aspects
of
diasporic
Hinduism
have
been
kept
in
mind
while
preparing
this
reference
work:
firstly
the
active
language
of
diasporic
Hindus
is
English.
Secondly
diasporic
Hindus
need
a
rational
rather
than
a
devotional
or
traditional
exposition
of
the
religion,
and
thirdly
they
need
information
and
arguments
to
address
the
stereotypes
which
characterize
the
presentation
of
Hinduism
in
the
academia
and
the
media,
especially
in
the
West.
The
above
is
covered
in
a
comprehensive
reference
work
that
covers:
(1)
Hinduism
in
various
parts
of
the
world
such
as
Africa,
North
America
and
so
on,
along
with
the
description
of
it
as
practiced
in
India;
(2)
the
various
religious
movements
of
a
Hindu
hue
which
have
had
international
impact
such
as
Hare
Krishna,
and
(3)
Hindu
beliefs
and
practices
as
they
are
being
understood
and
lived
out
in
a
modern
global
environment.
And
(4),
as
not
all
Indians
are
Hindu,
this
encyclopedia
will
contain
entries
on
all
religions
found
in
India
in
the
same
spirit.
