Publisher's Synopsis

The volume traces the evolution of a process of interaction between brahmanism and the indigenous social groups of Bengal during the early medieval period. Following the logic of cultural negotiation implicit in the Puranas composed in Bengal, the book unravels a pattern that governed this relationship of reciprocity, contestation and domination.
