	About the Book : Hinduism in the Context of Manusmriti, Vedas and Bhagvad Gita Hinduism is often difficult to comprehend due to its ancient origin, multifarious ness, vastness and absence of one authority. No book on Hinduism, therefore, can be complete. This book, however, tries to attempt a well-documented and holistic view of Hinduism from historical and sociological perspectives. It intends to serve as a basic introductory text. The presentation is based on a first-hand reading of Hindu scriptures in Sanskirt combined with knowledge of social sciences. The emphasis is on three major Hindu scriptures: the Bhagavad Gita, the Mamismriti and the Vedas, particularly the Rigveda. These three texts constitute the basic framework of Hinduism. This book provides adequate information about the three scriptures and discusses in detail terms such as gotrajati, varna and dharma. It also discusses the issue of divine punishment for violating the dharma.
