Brill’s Encyclopedia of the Religions of the Indigenous People of South Asia OnlineEdited by: Marine Carrin (Editor-in-Chief), University of Toulouse Jean Jaurès, and Michel Boivin, Centre for South Asian Studies (CNRS-EHESS), Gérard Toffin, Centre d’Études Himalayennes, Paul Hockings, University of Illinois at Chicago, Raphaël Rousseleau, Université de Lausanne, Tanka Subba, North-Eastern Hill University, Harald Lambs-Tyche, University of de Picardie-Jules Verne (Section Editors)
Brill’s Encyclopedia of the Religions of the Indigenous People of South Asia strives to reflect the diversity of indigenous cultures of South Asia with its many language groups and religious traditions. Shaped by their own mythologies, these tribal religions differ in form and content from Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Islam, Sikhism, and Christianity, though variants of the latter traditions have been adopted by some indigenous people. Religion is taken in a broad sense and includes aspects of morality, symbolism, identity formation, environmental concerns, and art. Far from being simple survivals of an earlier stage, these religions often show remarkable capacity for adaptation and change. The approach is contemporary rather than a reconstruction of an anterior state, though it does not overlook relevant historical processes.

UNKNOWN ASPECTS OF ALEXANDRA DAVID-NEELIf the traveler and explorer is well known, other aspects of her life are much less known.
In the course of lectures we will address two of them.

She was a singer and wrote a book The Great Art about the life of a singer, the first part of which is obviously her experience.
She also wrote the libretto for an opera Lidia that her lover at the time Jean Hautstont set to music and that she sang.
