Buddhist India (Hardcover)

Buddhist India In Buddhist India the famous Pali scholar T.W. Rhys Davids portrays ancient India during the period of Buddhist ascendancy, from the scientific-historical point of view. In sixteen chapters the work presents a detailed account of the socio-economic, geo-political, and ethical-religious conditions of the country. It describes the history of the kings, clans and nations that played a role in the growth and spread of Buddhism. With fifty-six illustrations and maps, this classic work, first published in 1903, is as illuminating today as it was revolutionary when it was first published. This is a good read, for the general reader as well as the scholar.
