Kancha's post Hindu-India in Telugu now

The Telugu translation of Kancha Ilaiah's bestseller Post Hindu-India
was launched in the city on Wednesday. Incidentally, the English
version of the book has become quite a subject for debate across the
country and abroad. The translation is pu-blished under the title
Hindu Mataananthara Bharatha Desham. "This is the first book in
India's scholarly history that shows that Hi-nduism has lost many
regions to other religions because of its opposition to labour and
science.
The book takes a journey through the productive and scientific life of
tribals, dalits, dhobis, barbers, iron and gold smiths, toddy tappers,
tillers, baniyas and brahmins. It shows how there is enormous science,
technology and engineering in the life of the productive classes. But
that scien-ce wasn't and still isn't respected in the temples or in
the teachings of the Hindu mythological hero's life," said Kancha
Ilaiah. M. Prab-hakar, who translated the book said that the book
reveals how the caste system was established and consolidated due to
the negation of science and human eq-uality in our country.
