About the Book
This book critically examines the encounter between Hinduism and Christianity from the seventeenth century to modern times. It argues that Christian dogma, often presented as theology, functions primarily as a tool of organizational power and cultural domination rather than genuine spiritual discourse.
Tracing debates from Pandits of Tamil Nadu to Mahatma Gandhi, the author contends that Hindu efforts to engage Christian doctrines in dialogue have been largely futile, as these doctrines were never meant to be tested or disproved. The work frames this encounter as a fundamental battle between the Vedic and Biblical traditions, or, in the language of the Gita, a conflict between daivi (divine) and asuri (demonic) propensities.
Through detailed analysis, the book urges Hindus to recognize the historical and contemporary strategies employed by Christian missionary institutions and to approach the encounter with discernment, highlighting the contrast between the peaceful, inclusive ethos of Sanatana Dharma and the often coercive tendencies of Biblical-derived traditions.
