Why I Am a Hindu by Shashi Tharoor

Why I Am a Hindu by Shashi Tharoor

Why I Am a Hindu offers a profound reexamination of Hinduism, and cautions against its politicisation.

'A profound book on one of the world's oldest and greatest religions' -- The Hindustan Times
'An influential and thought-provoking book, shedding light on many of the contradictions and anomalies of this ancient religion and its chequered history.'
'Tharoor's book is essential for fostering a more varied political dialogue on nationalism, secularism, and democracy.' -- Eurasia Review
'Shashi Tharoor is the most charming and persuasive writer in India. His new book is a brave and characteristically articulate attempt to save a great and wonderfully elusive religion from the certainties of the fundamentalists and the politicisation of the bigots.' -- William Dalrymple

Shashi Tharoor served for twenty-nine years at the UN, culminating as Under-Secretary-General. He is a Congress MP in India, the author of fourteen previous books and has won numerous literary awards, including a Commonwealth Writers' Prize. Tharoor has a PhD from the Fletcher School and was named by the World Economic Forum in Davos in 1998 as a Global Leader of Tomorrow. His Inglorious Empire: What the British Did to India was a Sunday Times bestseller and named as a Financial Times book of the year.
