Reviews

"The book as a whole has a great deal to offer both to students of South Asian diaspora as well as religion scholars. The first part of the book is certainly for specialized readers, whereas the second part is illuminating to a diverse readership."

– Pratap Kumar Penumala, in Numen 69 (2022).



"As the first of its kind, this handbook brings together leading and emerging researchers, successfully accomplishing the substantial challenge of presenting an organized yet diversified reference source on Hinduism in Europe. [...] The first ever source which covers a vast array of themes representative of the complexity and diversity of Hinduism in Europe."

– Xenia Zeiler, University of Helsinki, in Religion 52.1 (2022), p. 167-169.
