Why I Am A Hindu by Shashi Tharoor
A Manifesto
A personal and scholarly defense of Hinduism as an open, pluralistic, and reformist faith, the book traces philosophical roots and scriptural diversity while rejecting ritualistic conservatism and exclusionary political uses of religion; it critiques caste discrimination and communalism, argues that religious belief can coexist with modern liberal values, and combines memoir, historical analysis, and polemic to reclaim a tolerant, ethical vision of Hindu identity in contemporary public life.
