The Essentials of Hinduism: A Comprehensive Overview of the World's Oldest Religion

Viveka Press, 2002

The Essentials of Hinduism
The title of the book says it all. Even though the book is only about 200 pages it is EXTREMELY dense with information. Much more information than than I had anticipated when I ordered the book. If you are interested in learning about Hinduism this is the book to get.

The right to know your own soul
As a consequence of melting pot ideology, minority racism, and political correctness government-funded schooling and national media indoctrination, most European Americans are totally ignorant and ethnically incompetent when it comes to having a sense of their indigenous religious and cultural roots. American Indians and Jews who go aliyah to Israel are perfectly welcome to have a sense of ...

Aryans and British India

Thomas R. Trautmann

University of California Press, 1997

origin of modern racism
This book traces one of the origins of modern racism. Its analysis of the intellectual history of the 19th century and their innocent creation of a theory which gives the inspiration of modern racism is an excellent piece of scholarship. The profound knowldge of the author on Indology and Indo-European studies made his argument authorative. This book should be read by all history students, ...

Not for the Intellectually Faint of Heart
I picked up this book on a whim and I read it for pleasure. Yes, dear reader, you heard me correctly . . . I read this for pleasure. The title was what first caught my eye. I've recently started delving into Jewish studies, skirting the realms of both ancient history and theology, so I thought this book would fit in nicely so far as the Aryan Myth being co-opted by Europeans to subvert and ...

Indian Challenges to White Mythologies: The Aryan Problem
I must first state that I am not a member the Hindutva movement, indeed, I denounced the BJP for its sectarian rabble-rousing and Semitization of Hinduism in my The Oneness/Otherness Mystery: The Synthesis of Science and Mysticism (MLBD, 1999) However, I am associated with a more fundamental Indian challenge to Western thought, attacking Materialist metaphysics after having identified the ...

Who were the Shudras?: How they came to be the fourth Varna in the Indo-Aryan society

Bhimrao Ramji B. R. Ambedkar

Thackers, 1970

An excellent book
This is another work by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, the father of the constitution of India. With all the historical references, it entails how the original indians ended up being the forth class of hindu society. The book goes really back in time, even before buddha's period, explaining the existence of indians who were true warriors, one of the most talented in their time. When Siddharth, the Gautama ...

Hanklyn-Janklyn: A Rumble-Tumble Guide to Some Words, Customs, and Quiddities Indian and Indo-British

Nigel Hankin

India Research Press, 2003

Fun Yet Expert
I spent a day with the author, being given a tour of New Delhi. His obvious expertise and knowledge of all things Indian transfers directly into his volume which is an entertaining and authoritative read. I am constantly dipping into it, even after five + years, and using it as a reference resource but it is also a volume which makes for leisurely reading. If you enjoy words just for the heck of ...

The Quest for the Origins of Vedic Culture: The Indo-Aryan Migration Debate

10 reviews
Edwin Bryant

Oxford University Press, USA, 2001

Can You Be More Balanced?
Would it be possible to cover such a subject with more balance? I don't think so. Bryant does not "pit 19th century linguistics orthodoxy" against others. Of course he covers the 19th century ideas--and 18th, 20th, and 21st century ideas as well. For goodness sakes, the man cited works that had not even been published yet when he finished his book. Painstaking is indeed the word to describe ...

The Politics of History: Aryan Invasion Theory and the Subversion of Scholarship

3 reviews
Navaratna S. Rajaram

South Asia Books, 1996

Thought Provoking History at its best!
Mr. Rajaram has done an excellent job with what is a highly emotive and contentious subject. He brings the best aspects of the scientific method, dwelling on objective and holistic inquiry through the collection and analysis of evidence from multiple fields. The result is a book that cruelly exposes the charades that have been played at the expense of getting to the facts, all in the name of ...

Advent of the Aryans in India
Ram Sharan Sharma

Manohar Pubns, 1999

The book highlights the distinctive traits of the Aryan culture and discusses the identity of the Indus civilization. It presents the archaeological counterpart of the early Vedic culture reconstructed on the basis of textual and lexical evidence. The features of the Aryan culture in the Central Asian archaeology during the second millennium BC are pointed out, and the question of the migration of horse-using tribes from there to the ...

Indo-Aryan Deities And Worship - As Contained In The Rig Veda

2 reviews
Albert Pike

Fork. Press, 2007

I actually read the book - and loved it!
Unlike the previous reviewer, I actually read Mr. Pike's book and was impressed with it from page 1 to page 650. This is a monumental work which Pike in his brilliance declares is "...a study, and not as a teaching - for myself and not for others." Pike relies upon several translations of the Rig Veda by other authors, but his considerable knowledge of Sanksrit and the content of the vedic works ...

Macmillan, 1888

A must read for understanding Nouvel
The book is simple and direct in its format and writing, yet it touches upon some of the most poignant themes in Nouvel's architecture, such as Light, Colour, Grids and Details, as well as an outlook towards the future of architecture. Instead of a boring chronology of the works these become the main chapters of the book, and take on several buildings that are representative of these essential ...

Aryan Race

Charles Morris

Renaissance Publishing House,India, 1996

A Good History of Our People
The Aryan Race is an oldie but a goldie. Written in 1882 it is free of a lot of the National Socialist non-sense on Aryanism, but not all of its thought are right. It is a great book on the history of our people, a good book for anyone studying who we are. Good for students of Asatru. Wyatt Kaldenberg

The Indo-Aryan Languages (Cambridge Language Surveys)

1 review
Colin P. Masica

Cambridge University Press, 1991

Detailed
Masica does a decent job of what is obviously a difficult task of organizing the Indo-Aryan languages and reviewing them both synchronically and diachronically. He does review the languages using historical linguistics to trace language change from Sanskrit/Old Indo-Aryan thru Pali and the various Prakrits to the Modern Indo-Aryan languages. However my primary fault with this book is that it ...

Myth of the Aryan Invasion of India

7 reviews
David Frawley

South Asia Books, 1994

An Eye-opener
David Frwaley has done a great job of bringing some buried truths to light. The English colonialists divided India through their clandestine theory of aryan invasion. I would pose one question to proponents of aryan invasion theory: Where are the evidences which CONCLUSIVELY prove that aryans invaded India and destroyed Harappan civilization? I have read in history books (written by marxist ...
