Hinduism is practised by eighty per cent of India's population, and by thirty        million people outside India. In this Very Short Introduction, Kim Knott combines a        succinct and authoritative overview of a major religion with an analysis of the        challenges facing it in the twentieth century. She discusses key preoccupations of        Hinduism such as the centrality of the Veda as religious texts, the role of        brahmins, gurus, and storytellers in the transmission of divine truths, and        theimportance of epics such as the Ramayana. Issues such as the place of women and        dalits (untouchables) in contemporary society are also addressed, making this book        stimulating reading for Hindus and non-Hindus alike.
