| This book is
divided into four areas. 1) Social Issues:
primarily the misrepresentation of Hinduism both in India and the West and the need for a
Hindu awakening.
2) Religious Issues: the Hindu view of religion, the unity of all regions, and Islam and
Christianity from a Hindu perspective. I have devoted more space to Islam as this religion
is more inimical to Hinduism and few people appear willing to really examine it.
3) Historical Issues: particularly the Aryan Invasion theory, and the division of India
along north-south lines (the Aryan-Dravidian divide).
4) Cultural Issues: Hinduism relative to the world as a whole, and the value of Hindu
culture. The book has a wide scope of subjects but all are important for understanding
India today and show the need for a revival of Hinduism in its true spirit.
I have already examined the ancient history issue in my other books Gods, Sages and Kings:
Vedic Secrets of Ancient Civilization and in The Myth of the Aryan Invasion of India. For
this reason I didn't go much into this topic in the present volume it is relevant. |
