Description:

This collection of essays serves as an invaluable introduction to Rocher's distinctive and important contributions to the field of Indology.
Review Quotes:
'Donald Davis, Jr. and the Anthem Press are to be applauded for undertaking this massive project. Indologists who already know Rocher's work will deeply appreciate that a ready means of accessing it now exists. For those unfamiliar with Rocher's work, this volume provides a significant counterbalance for the general study of the Indian tradition, standing as a corrective for a field that has long been dominated by a one-sided focus on religion.' -Herman Tull, 'Journal of Hindu Studies'
