Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About The Book: Religious Thought and Life in India by Sir Monier Monier-Williams is a detailed study of India's diverse religious traditions, based on his lifelong research and firsthand observations. The book explores Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and other faiths, analyzing their scriptures, rituals, and philosophies.

About The Author: Sir Monier Monier-Williams (18191899) was a British scholar and the second Boden Professor of Sanskrit at Oxford. He specialized in Sanskrit, Persian, and Hindustani, emphasizing practical over speculative study. A strong advocate of Christian evangelization in India, he sought to document and influence Hinduism, predicting its decline. His works, including Hinduism (1877), helped popularize the term.
