Buddhism in India : Challenging Brahmanism and Caste Hardback

Hardback

Item not Available

Description

Buddhism in India is a historical survey of Buddhism in India and shows how over a period of 2500 years Buddhism has been engaged in a struggle against caste-hierarchy.

It has challenged Brahmanism, the main exploitative system of traditional Indian society, and instead endeavoured to build religious egalitarianism.

The book focuses on the question of what is the 'core' element in Buddhist Dhamma, on what role it has played in the development of Indian civilization and the changed perspective of Buddhism in a modern industrial age.
