About the Book

Indian civilization is in a tectonic transition. Caste, karma, and reincarnation created today's Hindu hierarchy, but caste cannot coexist with democracy. Democracy, built on the biblical principles of justice and equality, is driving Dalits and other lower caste Hindus to rise up against 3,000 years of Hindu caste-driven "apartheid." Many of these cultural revolutionaries seek a religious philosophy to buttress democracy and to promote liberty, dignity, human rights and servant leadership. Mangalwadi shows the way. His moving stories and soul-stirring reflections arise from his innovative projects to serve the poor in India; his studies in philosophy; his work at the national head quarters of the Janata Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party; and his personal experience of Jesus Christ.
