Buddhist India

Thomas William Rhys Davids,

About this book

In Buddhist India, T. W. Rhys Davids offers a comprehensive historical study of the political, social, and intellectual climate in which Buddhism arose and flourished. A pioneering Indologist and founder of the Pali Text Society, Rhys Davids reconstructs the India of the Buddha's time — from its kingdoms and castes to its philosophical debates and religious reform movements. Drawing from archaeological evidence and ancient texts, he presents early Buddhism not as a static religion but as a dynamic, revolutionary force that shaped the subcontinent's spiritual landscape. This scholarly yet accessible work remains a foundational text for understanding the historical Buddha, the cultural evolution of Indian society, and the impact of Buddhist ideas on Asian civilization.
