5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best scholarly work on Hinduism
This book is a rare mixture of scholarly research and a sympathetic feel towards Hinduism and India. Every page has dozens of historical data and profound reseach. No wonder, that it is being used in many of the American universities like Rutgers in New Jersey and McGill in Canada. A must read for anybody interested in India and/or Hinduism

Review of Klostermaier's 'Hinduism: A Short History'
This history is well intentioned, but eventually it becomes far too boggled by the author's undying affection for sanskrit terminology. I was eventually overwhelmed by the frequent references to specific religious concepts drawn directly from the Sanskrit. Reading become a labor rather than a pleasure. The history seems fair-handed and thorough.

This book is one of the best introductions to Hinduism. It will be ideal as a textbook in religion classes. Klostermaier has written a series of illuminating books on Hinduism and this is a worthy member of this wonderful set.
