The Hindu View of Life by Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan

The Hindu View Of LifeThe Hindu View Of Life by Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan is known to be one of best exponents of Indian Philosophy and he does not let one down in the book. His understanding of the Hindu religions texts and more importantly the import of the texts stands out.

One could nitpick and argue that one can see a "Brahmin" bias in some sections. In places one can argue that his "patriarchal" bias comes to the fore. To understand and discount this bias all one needs to do is to consider the background and the era in which the author lived and this bias can be understood. It is for the readers to not be biased by the author's bias and take the other good parts that has been expounded by the author.

Definitely a good read.
