In 'Why I Am a Hindu', Shashi Tharoor offers a profound re-examination of Hinduism, one of the world's oldest and greatest religious traditions. Opening with a frank and touching reflection on his personal beliefs, he lays out Hinduism's origins and its key philosophical concepts - including Vedanta, the Purusharthas and Bhakti - before focusing on texts such as the 'Bhagadvagita'. The 'Great Souls', or key individuals of Hinduism, from Adi Shankara to Vivekananda, are discussed, as are everyday Hindu beliefs and practices, from worship to pilgrimage to caste.
