This book is an attempt to address deliberate misinformation emblazoned across the media and academia with malicious intention to defame anything and everything which India could legitimately be proud of. Issues like caste, discrimination, education, state employment, priesthood et cetera have been used as tools to defame robust elements of Indian culture and tradition. Worst is that it is done without adducing any tenable or substantive evidence. Hindu-bashers indulge in cherry picking selected lines and phrases while conveniently ignoring vast material which contradicts what they postulate. Anti-India forces or those interested in mass conversion have purposely used institutions like caste and Brahmins as whipping boy to advance their agenda in this pious land because these two admittedly posed as most serious stumbling block to their nefarious goals. Deracinating Indian masses, even if by mischief and manufactured truth, helps conversion.

The very idea of discrimination is alien to Indian philosophy, culture and religion. Yet, the discriminatory tendencies, that later appeared in Indian society around the close of first millennium because of numerous social pressures including foreign invasions, have been projected as the integrated and inseparable trait of Hindu or Sanatan dharma. Worse, this discrimination is attributed to the greed and selfishness of shrewd Brahmans ignoring the fact that that all Hindu texts describe greed as root of all evils and that sacrifice and renunciation, not selfishness, has been the ideal of Indian society. This applies to entire spectrum of Indian society including Brahmans who happened to be most saintly person of their time and who actually walked the talk. This book discusses all these issues on the basis of facts and also compares the status of priesthood, discrimination, stratification, and untouchability, in India with the situation prevalent in the various societies in Europe, America, Africa, China, Japan, and Korea.
