Rediscovering Hinduism Through Mythological Writings of the 21st Century
Rediscovering Hinduism Through Mythological Writings of the 21st Century examines how contemporary literature and cultural narratives reinterpret Hindu mythology in the context of a rapidly changing world. Bringing together diverse scholarly perspectives, the volume explores the evolving relationship between myth, identity, spirituality, gender, and popular culture. It highlights how modern writers, artists, and media creators reimagine ancient epics and Puranic traditions to address contemporary concerns such as ethics, ecology, nationalism, feminism, and selfhood. The book investigates feminist retellings that reclaim marginalized voices, philosophical reinterpretations that renew ancient wisdom, and the growing influence of mythology across cinema, television, graphic novels, and digital platforms. Rather than viewing mythology as a static inheritance, this collection presents it as a dynamic and evolving discourse that continues to shape cultural consciousness. By bridging tradition with modernity, the volume offers valuable insights for scholars, students, researchers, and readers interested in Hindu mythology, literature, religion, and contemporary Indian thought.
