To many outside India, Hinduism is envisioned as the foundation of
an ideal, all-embracing society. Yet this is far from the truth.
Though historically the practice of Hinduism does promote the idea
of an inclusive and tolerant way of life, in the past decade Hindu
extremists have captured the religion and perverted it to their own
ideological ends. In "The Hindu Case, "Indian journalist""Salil
Tripathi meticulously documents how Hindu fundamentalists have
succeeded in censoring and banning many cultural works, tampered
with university teaching, and prevented academics from continuing
in their jobs. In addition, Tripathi shows that these extremists
are in the process of rewriting the ancient Hindu scriptures. This
title in the Manifestos for the 21st Century Series, published in
collaboration with the "Index on Censorship," the only
international magazine dedicated to promoting and protecting free
expression, focuses on the rights, tolerance, censorship, and
dissent within India's complex society, and it is an essential read
for those interested in the struggle between religious
fundamentalism and free expression.""
