An Ode To Fraternity (Hardcover)

Religion . . .Time and again, people have fought over it and divided the world into many fragments. Often, they have mindlessly imposed the superiority of one religion over another. News on ‘forceful conversion’, ‘religious extremism’ and ‘religious hostility’ is rightly, wrongly and maliciously disseminated through various means. Such acts have not only ruptured communal harmony and caused bloodshed but also damaged the foundation of humanity. History is witness to such man-made catastrophes.

Shedding light on how people from various faiths can learn from each other to create a more inclusive world, An Ode to Fraternity is a brilliant meditation on world religion. From Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Buddhism and Bahai to Sikhism and Christianity, among others, this is an apt book for our times, one that opens a window to understand how multiple faiths, life philosophies and religions can create a panoramic peaceful world.

Authoritative, engaging and deeply researched, An Ode to Fraternity will interest a wide spectrum of readers. It is a must-read students and scholars of philosophy, comparative religion, legal jurisprudence as well as policymakers.
