The book rips open the raw nerve of Hinduism-its invidious castes, positioned as a 'God-ordained' institution, commandeered by its freebooter priestly class while clandestinely establishing its religious, social and political hegemony through interpolation of its pristine and effulgent scriptures.

The author boldly analyses this imbroglio through a microscopic analysis of these and more related issues:

- How priests controlled the Hindu religious, social, educational and political apparatus?

- How the dominant priestly class fractured the society into mutually antagonistic subordinated hierarchical segments, and ruled it by reserving all elite jobs for itself?

- How the fiendish priesthood emasculated shudras by depriving them of the 'shaastra and shastra' (education and arms) and made them permanent 'village servant classes'?

- How the pretensions of attaining siddhis through 'meditation and penances' established priests as the 'gods on earth' for their assertions of 'purity and effulgence'?

- How 'karma', 'reincarnation' and '84-lakhs births' theories were devised to justify fatalism and hierarchical gradation of varnas?

- Can India be rightfully called the 'vishvaguru' and the mother of all civilisations?

- How Buddhism effeminated Hindus and made them the doormats for the ruthless?

- Why Hindus had to abandon their own, to adop foreign institutions of governance?

- Why Hinduism should become a universal and proselytising faith and fight demographic challenges posed by Islam and Christianity?
