Description
Summary:The book, true to its subtitle, tries to be a link between the well-established and universally accepted Hindu socio-religious, legal tradition and modernity, which presses for the recognition of democratic and socialistic values. As the author himself puts it, "the collection is diverse, embracing not only customer (acara), behaviour (vyavahara) and ethics (prayascitta), but also nationality, social philosophy and plant ecology" (Preface vii).
