Gods Guns & Missionaries: The Making of the Modern Hindu Identity Hardcover – 25 November 2024

This book is a thought-provoking exploration of power, politics, and ideology in India’s historical and contemporary landscape. While the writing style may take some time to get used to, it becomes more comfortable as the book progresses. Pillai weaves together historical insights with sharp analysis, making for a compelling read. The book challenges conventional narratives about some historical figures and encourages readers to view history with a critical lens. Overall, it is an engaging and insightful work for those interested in India’s past and present.

This book provides an insightful exploration of the forces that have acted upon Hinduism since the arrival of Europeans. While much of our literary and journalistic discourse has focused on the challenges posed by invaders from Samarkand and across the Hindukush, relatively little attention in popular literature has been given to the excesses of European religious forces. This work addresses that gap.
