An extensive study of self-sacrificial images in Indian art, this book examines concepts such as head-offering, human sacrifice, blood, suicide, valour, self-immolation, and self-giving in the context of religion and politics to explore why these images were produced and how they became paradigms of heroism.
Mary Storm is Academic Director, SIT Study Abroad India: National Identity and the Arts and Himalayan Buddhist Art and Architecture.
