Sarama And Her Children written by Bibek Debroy - Book Review

from The Historylogy Podcast · host Shinil Subramanian Payamal

The most recognized dog in Indian myth is the dog in the Mahabharata that accompanied the Pandavas—not actually a dog but Dharma in disguise. There are, however, several more references to dogs in the classical texts. Mentioned for the first time in the Rg Veda, the eponymous Sarama is the dog of the gods and the ancestor of all dogs. In Sarama and Her Children, the evolution of the Indian attitude towards dogs is traced through the vedas, epics, puranas, dharmashastras and nitishastras.Order links of the book 'Sarama And Her Children: The Dog in Indian Myth' below:Amazon India:PaperbackKindleAmazon USA:HardcoverPaperbackKindleFlipkart:PaperbackAnd please don't forget to checkout Historylogy.com for latest book reviews and tidbits from the pages of history.Please feel free to our social media ID's for latest updates.
