Socialism in Vedic Literature

About The BookIt is the book on the Vedas dealing with the Modern Topic “Socialism’ giving stresses to the social aspect of life. Generally, people think that the Vedas are more or less religious texts, but it is not so. No doubt these are the books of prayer to gods, more or less the Natural forces. The Vedas advocate a happy and prosperous life in the world for themselves and for others around them. It is only possible by the fair distribution of wealth, equality, brotherhood, and fair chances to each for education and procurement of wealth. The scholars have contributed their learned papers and have opened a new Vista, in the field of Vedic studies. This book, I hope, will lead you to studies of the Vedas other than religion and Karmakända. It will provide a chance for younger and senior scholars to understand the innermost feelings of the early Aryans towards their fellow brothers to see them happier in life. The introduction by the editor enhances the value of the book in admiring ancient Indian wisdom.
