Produktbeschreibung

The essays in this volume explore the ways in which individual scholars, intellectuals and men of religion negotiated the boundaries between discipline, sect, lineage and community as they moved through different social milieux in early modern India: courtly centres, temples, sectarian monasteries, the pandit assemblies of the cosmopolitan city of Banaras and of lesser religious centres in India's regions.

This book was a special issue of South Asian History and Culture.
