Greater Magadha: Studies in the Culture of Early India
Bronkhorst, Johannes
Greater Magadha: Studies in the Culture of Early India - New Delhi Manohar Publishers & Distributors 2007 - 414
Greater Magadha, roughly the eastern part of the Gangetic plain of northern India, has so far been looked upon as deeply indebted to Brahmanical culture. Religions such as Buddhism and Jainism are thought of as derived, in one way or another, from Vedic religion. This belief is defective in various respects. This book argues for the importance and independence of Greater Magadha as a cultural area until a date close to the beginning of the Common Era.
