Presents a serious challenge to the rise of Hindu fundamentalism, and exposes the right-wing and racist agenda of the BJP which wants to overturn India's secular constitution and escalate hostilities with neighbouring Muslim Pakistan.
Hugely controversial upon its publication in India, this book has already been banned by the Hyderabad Civil Court and the author's life has been threatened. Jha argues against the historical sanctity of the cow in India, in an illuminating response to the prevailing attitudes about beef that have been fiercely supported by the current Hindu right-wing government and the fundamentalist groups backing it.

Dwijendra Narayan Jha is Professor of History at the University of Delhi. His books include Ancient India in Historical Outline and Feudal Social Formation in Early India.
