            (A Hindu from Birth to Birth) Hindu life-cycle rituals and customs. Based on theoretical s
            Bengali fiction concerning the field but mainly on the author's direct experience from her

            middle-class households. The aim of the book is not only to acquaint European readers with
            Hinduism, but also to make them compare the distant culture with their own, to discover si
            with the extinct or dying-out customs and beliefs in the Christian cultural sphere and to 

            the positive features of traditional Hindu family relations as compared with the Western s
            consumers' society.
