    Buddhism a Protest to Hinduism or an offshoot?

    Few scholars would disagree that at the time of the Buddha, a very heterogeneous and actively developing religious culture flourished in India.

Buddhism simply proved to be one of the more successful new schools of thought within a large variety of philosophies, especially after King Ashoka

    Character Representation of Christianity in Poisonwood Bible

    The strong commentary on Christianity in Barbara Kingsolver’s The Poisonwood Bible is strongly evident throughout the novel. The narrative itself is divided into ‘books’ that mirror those of the Bible, including: Genesis, The Revelation, and Exodus. Throughout the progression of the novel, the structure of the novel strays from a biblical reflection with the addition of new ‘books’ which denote Kingsolver’s personal appellations. Kingsolver’s characters each represent a different attitude towards Christianity. This suggests that
