"India, Hinduism's homeland, faces a host of environmental challenges, from deforestation and desertification to environmental stresses caused by urbanization, the construction of dams, and an increase in industrial pollution. This volume explores varied responses to these environmental issues that are emerging from within Hinduism.".

"In this volume, scholars of Hinduism, Hindu practitioners, and environmental activists discuss the past history and future prospects for the development of environmentally responsive forms of Hinduism. Topics include the Vedic viewpoint on nature, the potential contribution of Gandhian thought, forest ecology in India, the degradation and damming of river systems, and Hindu grassroots approaches to environmental restoration."--BOOK JACKET.
