Holy Warriors: A Journey into the Heart of Indian Fundamentalism
Edna Fernandes
Overview: No other nation has witnessed as much proselytizaton or heard as many war cries in the name of God as has India. Here, there is evidence that every religion can be hijacked by the forces of fundamentalism. Edna Fernandes travels to the country’s recent and past theatres of fundamentalism—from Kashmir and Gujarat to Punjab and Goa—to meet the generals and foot soldiers of communal wars, and lets their rage and rhetoric speak for them. The result is an important and utterly absorbing book about the consequences of prejudice, insecurity and hate.
