''Buddhism in Kashmir'' by Dr. Nalinaksha Dutt is a comprehensive and scholarly study of the history of Buddhism in the Kashmir region. The book covers the introduction of Buddhism, the patronage of Emperor Ashoka, the relationship between Buddhism and Naga beliefs, the interaction with Shaivism, the Kushan period, and the testimony of Chinese pilgrims. Dr. Dutt, a distinguished scholar with a Ph.D. from Calcutta University and a D. Litt. from London University, provides a detailed and authoritative account of this important chapter in Buddhist history. Essential reading for students and scholars of Buddhism, history, and South Asian studies.
