Book Reviews of India: A Mosaic
Book Review: crap
Summary: 1 Stars
Writers like Arundhati Roy love to write about conflicts.... the left in general loves the idea of a class struggle... because that is how the society in the West was for many years and still is in certain ways.. India has never been about that.. what one sees in India at every turn is reconciliation.. the amazingly accommodating nature of India enabling us to accept people from all religions, from all backgrounds etc. I believe that the essential nature of India is love... sadly, very few people recognize this and this book is the result.. shallow and abusive... We no longer seem to have the awe and respect for beauty and greatness... the "everyone and everything is equal" philosophy has destroyed our understanding of the world. As Adi Shankara says, we are all equal but only when our mind evolves to the stage where we can conceive of the world in that fashion. A materialistic loony who has plastic surgery every six months is not equal to Adi Shankara no matter what anyone might say. As they say in my hometown, Kahan Raja Bhoj, Kahan Gangoo Telli?
