  Book Summary of Religious Cultures in Early Modern India: New Perspectives
This collection of essays examines different aspects of the history of India`s religious cultures. Much scholarly literature associates the major transformations in these religious cultures with the coming of colonialism. This volume seeks to place these colonial transformations in perspective by exploring some of the shifts which took place in the three centuries before the onset of colonialism. This was a time when the Mughal imperial framework provided enhanced communication and degrees of political security never before seen, and a time when India was drawn into the wider changes in society and economy-in commerce, technology, ideology-which transformed the early modern world.

These changes formed the context for substantial shifts in India`s major religious traditions. Improvements in communication strengthened pre-existing sectarian networks and facilitated the creation of subcontinent-wide forms of religious authority. Within the words both of Hinduism and of Islam, traditions of scriptural as well as popular devotional religion began to converge on a common understanding of the of the spatial context within which they were operating. With the support often of Mughal imperial patrons, intellectuals within the Hindu tradition began to formulate a new kind of `big tent` Advaita which anticipated the Advaita Vedanta of modern Hinduism. This volume makes a compelling case for the contribution of the Mughal era, which was as vital to the remaking of Hindu India`s multiple religious cultures as it was to those within Indian Islam.
