Hinduism is practised by eighty per cent of India's population, and by thirty million people outside India. In this Very Short Introduction, Kim Knott combines a succinct and authoritative overview of a major religion with an analysis of the challenges facing it in the twentieth century. She discusses key preoccupations of Hinduism such as the centrality of the Veda as religious texts, the role of brahmins, gurus, and storytellers in the transmission of divine truths, and the importance of epics such as the Ramayana. Issues such as the place of women and dalits (untouchables) in contemporary society are also addressed, making this book stimulating reading for Hindus and non-Hindus alike.

评分被骗了....这本书应该在社会学书架上摆着，对宗教思想本身的介绍不多，结构散乱思路也不怎么清楚。以前就看到有人说Hinduism这个词范围太广了，应慎用，为什么作者要作死当标题党。
