Book Reviews of Arrow of the Blue Skinned God
Book Review: Excellent book - a must read
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a must read for all students of Hindu philosophy. I revised my opinion of the Ramayana - which I had previously thought of as less interesting and more simplistic than the Mahabharata. I also revised my opinion of Sita - from the symbol of the downtrodden Indian female to someone who was the other half (better?) of Lord Rama. The book also raises interesting questions about whether Hinduism is essentially a fatalistic faith or an action oriented one. The encounters that Jonah Blank had with all levels of Indian society ring true. Overall, I highly recommend this book - I could not put it down.
