Most generalizations about Indian culture and religion upon close scrutiny turn out to be inaccurate. An exception undoubtedly is the term Dharma. This term and the notions underlying it clearly constitute the most central feature of Indian civilization down the centuries, irrespective of linguistic, sectarian or regional differences. The nineteen papers included in this collection deal with many significant historical manifestations of the term Dharma. These studies by some of the leading scholars in the respective fields will both present a more nuanced picture of the semantic history of Dharma by putting contours onto the flat landscape we have inherited and spur further studies of this concept so central for understanding the cultural history of the Indian subcontinent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788120833388\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.6 x 6.2 x 1.3 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Motilal Banarsidass Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49301668856112,"sku":"DRG.MLBD_9788120833388","price":777.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/motilal-banarsidass-publications-book-default-title-dharma-studies-in-its-semantic-cultural-and-religious-history-39525316460848.jpg?v=1775955905","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/dharma-studies-in-its-semantic-cultural-and-religious-history","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
