Democratic Hinduism

"Democratic Hinduism" (1921) explores the intersection of Hindu philosophy and democratic ideals. G. Krishna Sastri examines core Hindu scriptures and principles to reveal inherent democratic values within the tradition. The book advocates for the application of these values to contemporary Indian society, particularly in the context of the burgeoning movement for self-government. Sastri argues that a truly democratic India must draw upon its own spiritual and philosophical resources, rather than simply adopting Western models. The work offers a unique perspective on the relationship between religion, politics, and social reform, providing valuable insights into the intellectual currents of early 20th-century India. This book is essential reading for those interested in Hinduism, Indian political thought, and the history of democratic movements.
