Book Synopsis Buddhism in the Shadow of Brahmanism by : Johannes Bronkhorst
Book excerpt: This book deals with the confrontation of Buddhism and Brahmanism in India. Both depended on support from the royal court, but Buddhism had less to offer in return than Brahmanism. Buddhism developed in a manner to make up for this.
