The Religions of India contains, in a single volume, a comprehensive account of every major faith practised in the country today—Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism, Christianity, Buddhism, Jainism, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, and the Bahai faith.

This meticulously researched work traverses a vast range of topics—from the Somnatha temple and the Babri Masjid to Tirthankaras and the Akali movement; from the Shariat and the Eucharist to Shabuoth and nirvana; from the Dalai Lama and Adi Shankaracharya to Osho and the Art of

Living. It places each religion in its historical context, tracing its evolution from its inception to the present.
