*** Winner 2014 Next Generation Indie Book Awards (Religious Non-fiction) ***
This is a comprehensive book on Hinduism. It tells you why Hindus do the things they do - and don't. Written in a casual style, the book guides you through the fundamentals of the religion. It then goes further and debunks a number of long-standing myths, some of them coming from the academia (of all places). While most books shy away from contentious issues, this book plunges headlong by taking on controversies, like the Aryan Invasion Theory, idol worship, RISA scholarship and many more. In fact one-third of the book is just on controversies that you rarely find in any other literature.
Other Awards:
*** Finalist - 2014 Pacific Book Awards (Religion) ***
*** Bronze - 2014 IPPY Award - (Religion) ***
