This book makes an in-depth study of the Rigvedic society and culture. Contesting the prevalent view that Indian tradition is strange to the concept of class division, it discusses at length the productive-distributive-administrative relation in the Rigvedic society.
Taking a close look at the family and female-male relations in Rigveda, it examines the concept of Brahman in Rigvedda and early Upanishads. It also deals with the Rigvedic cosmology and Bhutavada—ancient India’s explanation of man, society and environment. The Rigvedic tradition and the evolution of Krishna myth find place in the discussion as well.
