Summary: one of the world's oldest forms of faith, Hinduism has an unbroken trajectory of beliefs and rituals that have endured for many millennia through the footsteps of pilgrims and the pedagogies of theologists, through myth, science and politics. But what does all that mean to the modern Hindu today? How does the faith speak to those who profess to follow it? Away from the raucous debate around religions, this is the journey of a common Hindu, an attempt to understand why for so many Hindus their faith is one of the most powerful arguments for plurality, for unity in diversity and even more than the omnipresent power of God, the sublime courage and conviction of man. Being hindu is the exploration of hinduism in a way you have never seen before - almost through your own eyes.
