attracts hundreds of thousands of believers every
year. Pilgrimage, Politics, and Pestilence studies
the organization and meanings of the Haj from
India during colonial times and analyses it from
political, commercial, and medical perspectives between 1860, the year of
the first outbreak of cholera epidemic in Mecca, and 1920, when the subject
of holy places of Islam became a very powerful political symbol in the Indian

close watch on the pilgrimage.

experience, one which should force all social scientists concerned with inequality and
humiliation in Indian society to rethink their most cherished dogmas.

Srinivasa Rao is former Professor, Department

9780198079811 2011 HB Rs 695
Advaita is one of the most influential traditions of the
Vedanta schools of philosophy. However, its study
and scope have been limited by the rigid frameworks
of classical Indian philosophy. Apart from attempts to
compare it to the philosophies of Kant and Bradley,
little has been done in contemporary times. Underscoring the need to think
creatively, this book offers a systematic contemporary critique of Advaita, and
examines and evaluates some basic misconceptions.
Readership: Challenging the accepted norms of the Advaita parampara, and yet
very much a part of it, this study will interest scholars, teachers, and students of Indian
philosophy.
