About the Book
This book explores the gradual decline of sacrificial liturgy in South Asia during the first millennium BCE. As traditional Vedic rituals waned, priestly Brahmanas increasingly turned their attention to subaltern rituals and the service of clients, particularly Sudras, reshaping religious and social dynamics.
Through historical and textual analysis, the volume highlights the transformations in ritual practice, priestly authority, and societal hierarchies. It provides valuable insight for scholars, students, and readers interested in ancient Indian history, religious studies, and the evolution of social and ritual structures in South Asia.
