இந்துமதம் எங்கே போகிறது என்று கேட்டு, அது எங்கிருந்து வந்து, எங்கே போய்க்கொண்டிருக்கின்றது என்று விளக்கி இருக்கிறார். வேதங்கள் என்பவை மனிதர்கள் தங்கள் தொடர் முயற்சியால் அனுபவச்செறிவால், திருத்திச் செதுக்கிய கோப்புகள் மட்டுமே; மந்திரங்கள் என்பவை அவ்வேதங்களின் விளக்கங்கள் மற்றும் விதிமுறைகள் தான் என்று தெளிவான விளக்கத்தை அளித்திருக்கிறார். A perfect myth buster.

சடங்குகளையும் சம்பரதாயங்களையம் உடைத்து உள்ளே ஒளிந்திருக்கும் ஜாதீய நோக்கங்களை காட்டியிருக்கிறார். மனு ஸ்ம்ருதியும் அதன் குறுகிய தன்னலம் மிக்க நோக்கங்களையும் தோலுரித்துக்காட்டியிருக்கிறார். Must read.

This is the best book, that I've read soo, Read lot of Tamil books, but this one is the masterpiece, and probably the best, an author can ever write.

The experience of the old man is reflecting in this.

[Prem Kumaresh K. Pandian · Rating 5 out of 5]

Read it to get yourself Rewarded with the Author's Immense Knowledge on who's who of Hinduism and it's Adaptation by few in a Self Serving Way. My Humble Salute to the Master Ramanujatatacarya. Nakkiran as Publishers have done a Great Job, a Mile Stone indeed.

must read one

[Sundararaman R · Rating 2 out of 5]

A lot of misinformation, a lot of blatant twisting of facts, a lack of coherent editing of the text, all together make this a rather unreliable book and an unpleasant reading experience. It gets two stars only because of the citations here and there from Vedas, Upanishads and Manu Smrithi, but predictably, these too are often taken out of context and their meanings twisted.

The work of a untrustworthy author with a distasteful agenda, with little regard for honesty and fairness.

I wish every Hindu read this book..author has got enormous guts to tell some bitter truth about a major religion in India ..

[Murugesan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent Book.

Hypocritical bull-shit is called just as bull-shit with reliable references from Upanishads, Manu Smriti, Vedas. Gives a detailed explanation on How being Hindu is different from Hindutva thug.

Definite/Must read in this crucial time period

[Arvind Srinivasan · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book goes into meaning on Vedic lines and how the practices we do today are drastically different from what we think. It emphasises people to understand Vedic lines and use the appropriate ones. Almost similar thought is what it is trying to provide on rituals.

The way women and certain section of people were treated inferior + the stories revolving around the reason given for treating so, could be realised from the book. There are also some prophecies that the author tries to deduce out on certain happenings (from a different stand point of view).

The motto of trying to tarnish some of the popular beliefs through so called actual happenings were bit one sided and in certain cases seem to be imaginary as well.

But in all these the author seems very neutral and hence the book can be considered balanced in throwing different point of view with lot of dignity.

The one part where the book goes too one sided is in tarnishing one specific mutt and its pontiffs, which makes the authors aim questionable and felt it could have been avoided easily which would have made this book even more commendable.

If you are a staunch hindu it would be better u avoid this book. If you are against hinduism this is a book for you. If you are between and want to think around then u will enjoy the most.
