Several
years ago I wrote two books on Hinduism and India. The first, Arise Arjuna, was a
compilation of different articles on contemporary problems, including difficult and
controversial social and political issues. The second, Hinduism: The Eternal Tradition,
was an attempt to clarify the broader meaning of Hindu Dharma in the modern world,
including a series of questions and answers on topical matters. Since then I have
continued to write various articles on Hinduism and on important issues facing India
today. The present volume is the result of that work, reflecting not only development in
my own thought but the changing situation in the country.
The
theme of the present book is the need for a resurgent Hinduism, particularly on an
intellectual level: a new Hindu intelligentsia to meet the challenge of the media and
computer age and the burgeoning information revolution. Such a new Hindu intelligentsia
requires both a critique of anti-Hindu forces, which are numerous and well-funded, and a
self-examination among Hindus, exposing the weaknesses within Hindu society and in
contemporary Hindu thought.
