    History Repeats Itself

  • Hindu History

    Hindu History

    Hinduism claims no identifiable human founder, nor a specific origin in history. It is so old that its past recedes into pre-history. Furthermore, the tradition itself claims to be eternal. Hinduism is extremely diverse, and only recently conceived of as a single, distinct religion. Hindus did not feel compelled to unify their many traditions, or define the common ground that distinguished them from "other faiths" — not, at least, until these "others" threatened to impose

Our book describes fiction as, “an imaginative work, usually a prose narrative (novel, short story) that reports incidents that did not in fact occur”.
