"This is the first study to systematically confront the question how Brahmanism, which
was geographically limited and under threat during the final centuries BCE, transformed
itself and spread all over South and Southeast Asia. Brahmanism spread over this vast
area without the support of an empire, without the help of conquering armies, and
without the intermediary of religious missionaries. This phenomenon has no parallel
in world history, yet shaped a major portion of the surface of the earth for a number
of centuries. This book focuses on the formative period of this phenomenon, roughly
between Alexander and the Guptas"
