Why I am a Hindu: Shashi Tharoor in conversation with Mukulika Banerjee

South Asia Centre, LSE

Why I Am a Hindu (2018), Tharoor’s latest book, 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, Shashi Tharoor untangles Hinduism’s origins and its key philosophical concepts — including Vedanta, the Purusharthas and Bhakti — before focusing on key texts such as the Bhagavad Gita. In captivating prose, he delves into the ‘Great Souls’ of Hinduism, from Adi Shankara to Vivekananda, and explores everyday Hindu beliefs and practices, from worship to  pilgrimage to caste. Why I Am a Hindu is a revelatory and original contribution to our understanding of religion in the modern era. Copies of the book will be available for sale at the event.
