This volume is a collection of essays by the late Richard Burghart. It makes an important contribution to the study of religion, politics, and society in South Asia through a combination of ethnographic finesse, meticulous historical research, and the sustained working out of an original theoretical position. The essays are grouped into three sections: the first contains Burghart`s theoretical papers on the interpretation of Hindu society, which introduce his crucial idea of `intercultural` and intracultural translation`, together with three examples of his empirical work on Ramanandi renouncers. The second section concentrates on Burghart`s work on political culture and the historical development of the nation-state of Nepal. The third section illustrates Burghart`s sociology of `complex agency`.ISBN - 9780195696011
