Dr Swamy suggests that the siege against Hinduism today is visible in four dimensions: 1. Religious, in the denigration of Hindu icons; 2. Psychological - e.g. in the foisting of a fraudulent version of our history; 3. Physical - e.g. the Islamic terrorist-driven ethnic cleansing of Hindus in Kashmir and Bangladesh, and the money-induced conversion of Hindus to Christianity; 4. Cultural - e.g. through globalisation of tastes, dress and interpersonal morality that are determind in the Anglo-saxon white Christian world ("The West")...



 Hindu civilization, the author argues, cannot be defended or protected merrely by indiviudal or personal piety on by performig of pujas.Hindutva or Hinduness, the author defines, is a collective minset that identifies India as the motherland from the Himalayas to the Indian Ocean.



 Dr. Swamy argues that as a country becomes industrialized, its governance and corruption challenges morph and becomes more sophisticated: it becomes a complex phenomenon. In this context, Dr. Swamy has explained the ramifications of the monumental 2G Spectrum Scam.



The author's study of Rama Setu covers all aspects of historical, economics, environmental and national security of the Sethusamudram Ship Channel Project. He opposes the rupture of Rama Setu, to dredge out a seabed furrow in the Palk Strait and Gulf of Mannar. He terms the Project (SSCP) as a financial white elephant. Despite the lack of economic viability, the environmental dangers, and the national security risks of the project, he argues that in choosing to design the SSCP based on destructive channel route, the Government, has betrayed our ancient civilization and Sanatan Dharma.



 

The book brings together a panel of political, constitutional and technical experts and makes a powerful and substantive case for the discontinuation of EVMs in Indian elections if these cannot be safeguarded to public satisfaction. The book is an eye-opener and a must-read for all Indian politicians and citizens alike.





 It is the thesis of the study that to deter terror, India as a nation must first foster a concept of identity. A strategy to deter terror then can be formulated with that perspective. From a study of nations that have remain united, and contrasted with those which have distintegrated, it seems that crucial element for national integrity is the concept of 'who we are' that the people within a geo-political boundary accept. This concept, however, has to be nurtured, renewed, continually enriched, and given substance.
