    This article examines two Indian philosophical schools from around the 2nd century AD, the Cynics and Pāśupatas. Both schools rejected social conventions and popular religious practices of their time in favor of alternative lifestyles and beliefs that were seen as scandalous or dishonorable by mainstream society. The article explores the worldviews of these groups and how their unconventional teachings were a reaction against the dominant religious orthodoxies in ancient India.
