Produktbeschreibung

In the lndian tradition, moral codes concerning dress were more in keeping with the natural environment. Clothes were light and simple, consistent with the generally hot climate. And in matters of religion, there was greater diversity, and much more personal choice. it was often up to the devotee to visit a temple at a time of his or her choosing. Which deity to worship involved an element of local choice and different jets might worship different deities. Local versions of the epics such as the Ramayana and the Krishna-Leela were popularized and recent research points to hundreds of different versions in circulation. Unlike in lslam, pilgrimages were undertaken under less pressure and with greater individual volition. Al-Biruni also noted how the Hindus were remarkably flexible and willing to change customs and traditions they no longer felt to be relevant or essential. Each chapter in the book is self contained and is consistent with the general aim of the book. No doubt, the chapters given in this book shall help the teachers, students and social scientists to understand and explore more in the subject. Content: Historical Perspective of lndian Caste System; Races in lndia; Labor, Economy and lndian Society; Women and lndian Society; Socio-Economic Condition during Medieval Period; Caste and the Power in lndian Politics; Religion and Society; Population and Social Demography.
