In the study of religion in general as well as the study of Hinduism in particular, tantrism is without a doubt one of the categories that ranks highest on the list of troublesome and contentious topics. Tantrism is a topic that is hotly debated on almost every front, from the question of where it came from and what makes it unique to the appraisal of where it fits in the progression of religious thought.

Therefore, tantra in its beginnings was really just a collection of reinterpretations of the many different religious traditions that already existed in India. Tantrism" took on a life of its own and often functioned as a screen onto which outsiders projected either their most profound concerns and fears or their wishes and dreams. Tantrism" took on a life of its own and became a phenomenon in its own right.

These opinions, both favorable and bad, held in the West were shared by people in India. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, many of the reformers who were part of the so-called Neo-Hindu movement specifically targeted Tantrism as the prime example of how far Hindus have fallen from the purity of the golden age of Vedic origins.

Tantrism embodied the most illustrious aspects of India's religious history and tradition. Tantra was a practice that was common in India during the time of Ramakrishna, who is considered to be one of the most influential contemporary Indian mystics and saints. Tantrism, on the other hand, was intriguing to Indian revolutionaries who were on the extreme left of the nationalist movement during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century because of its link with radicalism, subversion, and transgression.

Even as early as the middle ages and continuing into succeeding centuries, the Tantric movement had already begun to exercise its effect on other schools of Hinduism. Tantric deities make up a significant portion of the pantheon of modern Hinduism, which has led to this observation being made. Tantrism also left its mark on the temples, iconography, and rituals of "mainstream" Hinduism throughout its time period of prominence.
