Description
“Worshipping False Gods” is a book written by Arun Shourie, an Indian journalist, author, and political commentator. The book was first published in 1997 and has since become a classic work of Indian political and social analysis.
In this book, Shourie examines the various false gods that are worshipped in Indian society, such as superstition, casteism, corruption, and communalism. He argues that these false gods are the root cause of many of the problems that plague Indian society, including poverty, inequality, and social unrest.
Shourie’s book is a powerful critique of the Indian political system and the cultural values that underpin it. He argues that the Indian state has failed to live up to its promises of secularism and democracy, and that the country’s social and economic progress has been hindered by the influence of these false gods.
Despite its controversial nature, “Worshipping False Gods” has been widely praised for its incisive analysis of Indian society and its thought-provoking arguments. It remains an important work for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of modern India and its ongoing struggles with issues of social justice, political corruption, and religious intolerance.
