This book is an attempt to present Indian thought and religion by Sir Charles Norton Edgecumbe Eliot, a British diplomat and colonial administrator, as well as a formidable scholar of Buddhism, and British ambassador in Japan, 1919-25. He was the author of a number of works, devoted to Hinduism and Buddhism, this historical sketch of 1921 being one of them. Here Eliot traces the history and development of religion in India, avoiding discussing modern religions or forecasting results of the tendencies of the time. The first volume comprises three Books – Introduction, Early Indian religion: a general view, and Pali Buddhism.
