武士隐修者与印度帝国

English | ISBN: 0521851688 | 2006 | 294 pages | PDF | 23 MB

Many people assume, largely because of Gandhi's legacy, that Hinduism is a religion of non-violence. In this 2006 book William R. Pinch shows just how wrong this assumption is. Using the life of Anupgiri Gosain, a Hindu ascetic who lived at the end of the eighteenth century, he demonstrates that Hindu warrior ascetics were an important component of the South Asian military labor market in the medieval and early modern Indian past, and crucial to the rise of British imperialism. Today, they occupy a prominent place in modern Indian imaginations, ironically as romantic defenders of a Hindu India against foreign invasion, even though they are almost totally absent from Indian history. William R. Pinch's innovative and gloriously composed book sets out to piece together the story of the rise and demise of warrior asceticism in India from the 1500s to the present. It will appeal to students of religion and historians of empire.

很多人因为甘地的遗产而认为，印度教是一个非暴力的宗教。2006年出版的这本书《威廉·R·皮斯克》展示了这种假设是多么的错误。他以十八世纪末的一位印度苦行僧阿努吉里戈赛尼的生活为例，证明了在中世纪和早期现代印度的历史上，印度的武士苦行僧是南亚军事劳动力市场的重要组成部分，并且对英国帝国主义的发展起到了关键作用。如今，在现代印度人的想象中，他们占据了显要的地位，甚至以浪漫地捍卫一个印度国家免受外国侵略者的角色出现，尽管他们在印度历史上几乎完全消失。威廉·R·皮斯克的创新而令人称羡的作品旨在拼凑出印度武士苦行僧从1500年至今的兴起与衰落的故事。这本书将吸引宗教研究者和帝国史学家的兴趣。
