Eastern Thoughts: Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Beyond

by Ziaul Haque

While teaching the course 'Eastern Thoughts' at the B.A [Hon's] level in the English department, I found it rather difficult to make the students understand certain concepts [Islam, School of Muslim Philosophy/Islamic philosophy, Muslim Contributions to Western Thought, Sufism, Confucianism, Zen Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, the Vedas, the Upanishads, Carvaka, the Six Orthodox Schools of Hindu Philosophy, Bhakti, Indian Aesthetics, Buddhism and Jainism] properly due to the lack of secondary sources. Consequently, I thought about writing a book that will cover all the topics and help the learners to understand the subject in a proper manner. All the information is compiled from the public domain. Certainly, I endeavoured my best to present as much information as possible in "Eastern Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Beyond". However, I do believe that this book will be a great companion not only for the students but also for those who have a fervent passion for religion and a thirst for new knowledge.
