About the Editor(s)
Sudhir Kakar is an internationally renowned psychoanalyst, novelist, and scholar of cultural psychology and the psychology of religion, and has taught at several universities in India, United States, and Europe. His many honours include the Kardiner Award of Columbia University, Boyer Prize for Psychological Anthropology of the American Anthropological Association, and Germany's Goethe Medal. Converging multiple disciplines, Kakar's work represents the breakthrough in Indian social thought and indigenous knowledge systems, something anthropologists and historians of religions have been advocating for many years.
