This is an evaluation of the religious culture of Lingayatism, a religion of more than eight million people about whom little is known outside India. The author records the achievements of Basava, an emissary prophet who waged a crusade against sociocultural inequalities and economic-political subordination of the masses in medieval South India.

K. Ishwaran is a Professor of Sociology at York University.
