Product Description
Synopsis
Shivaji was a 17th-century hero in western India, where his legend is well known and an important part of Hindu nationalist ideology. His legend expresses deeply held convictions about what Hinduism is, and how it is opposed to Islam. James Laine traces the origin and development of the Shivaji legend, examining its meaning for those who have composed and read it, and paints a complex picture of the past four centuries of Hindu-Muslim relations.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Courageous & Historical Author, 18 Nov 2005
By Kedar Joshi (Cambridge, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The most amazing thing about this book is that it has made history. Its author, James Laine, has shown the courage to criticise a national hero, the criticism that caused a historic and barbaric attack on the Indians who helped the great author. As a consequence the book is not merely about Shivaji and his times but also indirectly about us and our modern times. It would not just be a historical narration and interpretation but an inspiration to those who dare to challenge the stereotype, fundamentalism, and prejudice.
