About this title

Synopsis

Bharat is among the world's oldest living civilizations- one whose continuity is not confined to museums or manuscripts but lives and breathes in everyday life: in prayers and mantras that trace back to the Vedas, in the stories of heroes and gods from the Itihasas and Puranas, and in the worldview shaped by the Dharmashastras and Darshanas.

Unlike traditions centred on a single canonical book, Hindu dharma is a vast repository of wisdom: the Vedas, Upanishads, Smritis, Puranas, Agamas, Itihasas, and more.

Yet, despite inheriting this extraordinary legacy, many today remain unaware of, or confused about, its scope, structure, and spirit.

Why Are We This Way is an invitation to rediscover that inheritance-a clear, accessible introduction to Hindu scriptures and the worldview they gave rise to. It does not claim to be exhaustive, nor does it offer rigid conclusions. Instead, it provides a structured gateway into Hindu texts-a foundation upon which readers can build their own journey of understanding. Along the way, it traces how Indian thought, belief, and narrative evolved organically over time-absorbing, refining, and reshaping itself in response to changing realities.

The tone of the book may be Hindu-centric, but it is intended for all seekers, beginners, and those curious about India's civilizational experience. It can be read as a primer on Hindu

scriptures, a reference guide, or simply an honest attempt to understand and articulate what it means to be shaped by this ancient, living tradition.
