Reissuing Gail Omvedt's Buddhism in India

Gail Omvedt wrote a book called 'Buddhism in India' a long time ago.

It talked about how Buddhism and Brahmanism fought each other in ancient India.

A publishing house called Navayana decided to bring this book back for new readers.

They added a new introduction by a historian named Uma Chakravarti.

The book is important because it tells the story of how Buddhism was a big part of India's history and how it still matters today.

Gail Omvedt was a big supporter of the ideas in the book and worked with the publishing house for many years.

The book helps people understand the history of Buddhism in India and why it's still important.
