Chapter IV on Charvaka Philosophy: Completed.
It’s an atheistic Hindu philosophy.
I found it interesting for its advocacy for free will, hedonism, materialism (rejecting metaphysical concepts), naturalism, and positivism.
I am yet to think more about rejection of causation and determinism.
The best part was their humorous critique of Vedic culture and the perceived “supremacy of Brahmanas”.

Chapter III Completed.
Title “The Philosophy of the Bhagavad-Gita”
The ontology part was dull, but the Gita summary was apt, to-the-point, and good.

Chapters I & II Completed.
Challenging due to circumlocution^, self-reference*, and terminology; yet valuable.
^ [irony] Circumlocution is indirect expression, avoiding direct statements. It is not Sinha’s style but inherent in Upanishads.
* Self-Reference is when something refers to itself, illustrating interconnected ideas and thus emerging complex patterns, but often leading to illogical circular reasoning.
