| Annotation: | Tracing the institution of goshalas and pinjrapoles through history, Lodrick provides case studies demonstrating the Jain, Buddhist, and Hindu understandings of ahimsa that underpin human/animal relations in India. The book contextualizes these institutions of protection and humane treatment of animals in terms of itself and not twentieth-century notions of conservation, resource management, or economic development. |
