Description

Explore the dual origins of one of the world's oldest religions with this scholarly work from Oxford University Press. This book investigates the two major roots of Hinduism, beginning with the religion brought to South Asia in the second millennium BCE by speakers of Aryan or Indo-Iranian languages. Beyond the Aryan influence, the text examines the enigmatic Indus civilization of the third millennium BCE. This ancient culture left behind a mysterious legacy of thousands of short inscriptions in a forgotten pictographic script. Discovered in the Indus River valley during the early 1920s, this civilization once supported a population of approximately one million people across more than 1,000 settlements. Readers will learn about the scale of this ancient society, which included major cities housing up to 50,000 inhabitants. This book provides a detailed look at the historical foundations that shaped the religious landscape of South Asia.
