In Their Own Words

Anoop Chandola, PhD’66

The protagonist of this novel is both professor and priest, a man of radical beliefs who urges his followers to repudiate all religions, including Hindu. It is by viewing videos that he gains his insight, which he then shares with Hindu Americans who are mystified by their culture and confused about their identities. Throughout the book, Chandola's narrator exposes the reader to all phases of this religion and leads his followers with great purpose along a path of knowledge and awareness. Where that path leads--as well as how and what each character learns during the journey--constitutes the central drama of this book.
