Religions minoritaires et cultes marginaux de l'Inde
Work detail
Religions minoritaires et cultes marginaux de l'Inde examines the diverse spiritual traditions that exist outside the mainstream religious landscape of India. Author Janine Reigner explores the beliefs and practices as well as the social contexts of minority faiths such as Zoroastrianism, Jainism or various Tantric movements, alongside lesser-known Hindu sects. Drawing on historical sources and ethnographic observation, the book outlines how these communities have preserved their identities amid the dominant Hindu culture. Published in 1991 by Publisud, the paperback offers a concise yet informative overview suitable for students of religious studies and anthropology. The work highlights the richness of India's pluralistic heritage and the challenges faced by marginal religious groups in maintaining their traditions.
