Review: The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Hinduism
If you were to open up a typical English language book on Hinduism, usually you’ll find that it revolves around the same things; caste, cows, statues, widow burning, Aryan invasions etc. Such books are often written with a strong cultural and religious bias, and are anything but balanced in their portrayal of Hinduism. Anyone with even a basic understanding of Hinduism would know how erroneous such stereotypes are. The problem is that these books often serve as many people’s introductions to Hinduism, therefore their lopsided portrayal of Hinduism has far reaching ramifications.
