Over the last few years, however, he has had reason to feel that the worst, perhaps, is still to come. In this fierce, uncompromising book he shows us what few of us wish to see: why it is entirely likely that India will come undone in the foreseeable future.

Analysing the communal violence in Gujarat in 2002, the anti-Sikh riots of 1984, the burning of Graham Staines and his children, the targeted killings by terrorists in Punjab and Kashmir, Khushwant Singh forces us to confront the absolute corruption of religion that has made us among the most brutal people on earth. He also points out that fundamentalism has less to do with religion than with politics.

And communal politics, he reminds us, is only the most visible of the demons we have nurtured and let loose upon ourselves. Insurgencies in Kashmir and the North-East, caste wars in Bihar, scattered Naxalite movements, and the ghettoization of minorities are proof that our obsession with caste and regional and racial identity has also splintered the nation, perhaps beyond repair.

This study recognizes the dialectic of movement and thought, but goes beyond in arguing that Indian political thought should not be imprisoned within the four walls of the national liberation movements, but taken further to reflect on the burning issues of the day in post-independence period such as religious fundamentalism, communalism, nationhood, national security, civil society, rights, self-government, development, empowerment of women and so on. The twenty-one original essays collected in the volume are a testimony not only to the distinctive route of a colonial country's entry into modernity, historically speaking, but also the inner strength and weakness of the challenges posed against newer forms of domination in the age of globalization (less)

The 19th century saw rediscovery of many sacred texts that contributed to the construction of Hinduism as monolith. The process of reducing orality to textuality saw the wholesale standardization of very vibrant, dynmic and diverse religious practices.

Historically the religious beliefs and practices of the Hindus were too divergent to constitute a coherent, monolith religious system. A historical gaze at Hinduism clearly points out that to view this as a single religious system is not correct and a distortion of the heterogeneous religious practices of its people.
