WORSHIPPING FALSE GODS Paperback

"Worshipping False Gods" by Arun Shourie is a highly controversial and critically charged book that offers a scathing re-examination of the legacy and political strategies of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, a towering figure in India's social and political history. Shourie's work challenges prevalent historical narratives, presenting an alternative perspective by drawing heavily on primary sources to scrutinize Ambedkar's alliances, views on caste, and contributions to the Indian Constitution. The book asserts that certain "facts have been erased" from public consciousness, aiming to provoke a re-evaluation of how historical figures and their actions are perceived and venerated in modern India, thereby sparking significant academic and political debate.
