Book Review - Defence of Hindu Society by Sita Ram Goel

I am late to the party, but I am very glad I now read Shri Sita Ram Goel ji. Sita Ram Goel ji is one those scholars who must be read first when one starts the journey of seeking. He has been there done that. Before twitter wars, before social media propaganda, before the likes and shares and viral threads - when the debates were offline but exactly same - he was there. He has faced both the right wing hooligans and Social Justice Warriors, both have not changed a bit, and he knows how to tackle their arguments. Also he has been on both sides of the spectrum. His close association with left as a communist in his early life has helped him gain deep insights and his mind is sharpened by the experiences.


His writing is succinct and his ideas are penetrating. He doesn't mince words and so the book is straight talk. Published by Voice of India, it is a 110 page book. Its priced extremely economical at Rs. 75.


Defence of Hindu Society should not be the first book that you read from SRG. Hindu Society under Siege must be read first in order to gain maximum from his writings. But even if you like me get to read this book earlier than the other, you would not be any less happy. There are things and experiences you do not have the ability to express or say how you feel. SRG comes to rescue and writes EXACTLY what you have felt in your limited but mind-numbing interactions. This book is an antidote to leftists who pose as intellectuals.


Must read!
