| How I Became A Hindu - My Discovery Of Vedic Dharma |

| Books By David Frawley |
| DISCOVERY OF SOCIAL AND POLITICAL HINDUISM | |
| Perhaps
if I did not have such a background in the Vedas or a personal contact with Hindu groups,
I might have taken the propaganda against them seriously, which many people, even those
who have a regard for Indian traditions, seem to uncritically do. I gradually began to see another side of the Indian mind, a modern intellectual side influence by the West, anti-spiritual, materialistic and hostile to its own traditions. Westerners, with their image of India as the land of yoga and meditation, are seldom aware of this westernized Indian mind or how inimical it is to the very traditions that they are interested in. These same Indian leftists regard all westerners interested in spiritual India as deluded, as representing a backward trend in western culture! With Vashta’s help I visited with some leftist journalists and got to know their thinking first hand. He didn’t provide any background on their views but allowed me to discover directly what motivated them. I gradually discovered the leftist influences behind such anti-Hindu propaganda as targeted the RSS.
