The Myth of the Holy Cow
Hugely controversial upon its publication in India, this book has already been banned by the Hyderabad Civil Court and the author's life has been threatened. Jha argues against the historical sanctity of the cow in India, in an illuminating response to the prevailing attitudes about beef that have been fiercely supported by the current Hindu right-wing government and the fundamentalist groups backing it.
Beef, Brahmins, and Broken Men

One of twentieth-century India’s great polymaths, statesmen, and militant philosophers of equality, B. R. Ambedkar spent his life battling Untouchability and instigating the end of the caste system. In his 1948 book The Untouchables, he sought to trace the origin of the Dalit caste. Beef, Brahmins, and Broken Men is an annotated selection from this work, just as relevant now, when the oppression of and discrimination against Dalits remains pervasive. Ambedkar offers a deductive, and at times a speculative, history to propose a genealogy of Untouchability. He contends that modern-day Dalits are descendants of those Buddhists who were fenced out of caste society and rendered Untouchable by a resurgent Brahminism since the fourth century BCE. The Brahmins, whose Vedic cult originally involved the sacrifice of cows, adapted Buddhist ahimsa and vegetarianism to stigmatize outcaste Buddhists who were consumers of beef. The outcastes were soon relegated to the lowliest of occupations and prohibited from participation in civic life. To unearth this lost history, Ambedkar undertakes a forensic examination of a wide range of Brahminic literature. Heavily annotated with an emphasis on putting Ambedkar and recent scholarship into conversation, Beef, Brahmins, and Broken Men assumes urgency as India witnesses unprecedented violence against Dalits and Muslims in the name of cow protection.

19th Akshauhini answers all the questions about the Gita that are plaguing minds. The illustrative list of questions answered in this book are: How can Krishna who himself ran away from battle & earned the sobriquet "RANCHOR"(meaning one who ran away from battle) advise Arjuna to fight his enemies? How can a forty minute discourse of the Gita be complete knowledge? How can a 5300-year-old dialog be relevant to modern times? If the Gita is unchanging, isn't it too rigid and unsuitable for modern times? How can one discourse cater to the needs of diverse types of people? Does the Gita encourage violence? Isn't the Gita sectarian and meant for Hindus? Read on to get a new perspective on the Gita and its teachings."
