This piece introduces the topic of genealogy as an important topic in the humanities in general, and in the study of religions and the study of the religions of South Asia in particular. Then it introduces a project on that topic at Cardiff University, and the international conference held in connection with it. It then provides an overview of the collected papers of that conference, which are presented in this volume.
