Reflections on the Upākhyānas in the Āpaddharmaparvan of the Mahābhārata
Dharma and ‘Custom’
This article does three things. First, it argues that the usage of dharma in the sense of 'customary practice', which is found in compounds such as desadharma and kuladharma, can be traced back to the Atharvaveda.

A History of State and Religion in India
Offering the first long-duration analysis of the relationship between the state and religion in South Asia, this book looks at the nature and origins of Indian secularism.

In doing so, it explores the development of a conception of Brahmanic kingship morally justifiable within the terms of a debate largely set by various alternative social movements of the period
