Reviews

[Hinduism in America] is important as it deals with the Hindu phenomenon in the United States in a comprehensive and positive way, covering almost all dimensions and presenting a clear picture of the American Hindu realm. The book is a must for every Hindu library both in India and abroad, and also for Diaspora Hindus. * Swarajya *
