| Annotation: | Arguing that the world’s religions have important roles to play in protecting the environment, Dwivedi focuses on Hindu attitudes toward nature, comparing traditional ecologically friendly views with destructive approaches stemming from Muslim and British cultural domination. Emphasizing the conservationist potential of Hinduism, he appeals to the concept of “forest satyagraha” or a wider “satyagraha for the environment” as a viable course for resisting globalization and consumerism and for promoting social and ecological justice worldwide. |
