Beschreibung
For long, Indian Buddhist and Brahmanical religious institutions have generally been studied from art-historical perpectives. This has resulted into a general neglect of the contours of the vast functional matrices these institutions have created or were parts thereof. Eassays in this book attempt to explore the functional roles of Indian Buddhist and Brahmanical religious institutions by perceiving them as importent constituents of the overall societal matrix: as institutions in dynamic interactions with other societal institutions, acting and reacting with them, influencing them and getting influenced by them in turn.
