One can appreciate history and leave it where it belongs. – Why I Am A Hindu
Thank you @MumbaiBookstagram, @ShashiTharoor and @AlephBookCo for an advance reading (signed) copy of Why I Am A Hindu.
Amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life each of us has had, at
some point of time in life, introspected oneself about one’s caste,
culture, rituals. Each of us, among multiple chores, does
knowingly-unknowingly try to search for the real reality of self. For a
spiritual seeker like me, I have read tons of books that will help me
enhance my search for truth. Frankly speaking, I dived into Why I Am A
Hindu with one too many negative notions. Tharoor being a leftist and
me, a rightist (liberal), I knew my thoughts might not concur. But I was
wrong.
Tharoor shows wits, intelligence, logic, throughout his book Why I Am
A Hindu. He packs it with ample knowledge. So much is this book
knowledge-heavy that one doesn’t get a micro-second to even think about
binge reading it. (Take this as an advise, please don’t think or try to
binge read it.)
This book has a connectivity with it’s readers. It cites wisdom from
Upanishads, Vedas, Gita and many other puranic stories. This book is
divided into 3 sections and has 7 chapters. Each chapter deals with one
particular issue and delves deeper into the trenches of wisdom to bring
out an insightful and a delightful read. A flow is maintained throughout
a chapter and the topic is discussed from different perspectives,
touching base with every aspect possible.
