Hinduism is one of the world's oldest and greatest religious
traditions. In captivating prose, Shashi Tharoor untangles its
origins, its key philosophical concepts and texts. He explores
everyday Hindu beliefs and practices, from worship to pilgrimage to
caste, and touchingly reflects on his personal beliefs and
relationship with the religion. Not one to shy from controversy,
Tharoor is unsparing in his criticism of 'Hindutva', an extremist,
nationalist Hinduism endorsed by India's current government. He
argues urgently and persuasively that it is precisely because of
Hinduism's rich diversity that India has survived and thrived as a
plural, secular nation. If narrow fundamentalism wins out, Indian
democracy itself is in peril.
