Das (India Unbound) retired early from his top position at Procter & Gamble Worldwide to become something of an Indian public intellectual, writing regular columns for the Times of India and other newspapers. By 2002, however, distressed by the ubiquitous corruption infecting India's public and private sectors, he decided to spend two years on "academic holiday" at the University of Chicago, working with Sanskrit scholars and the impressive South Asian collection "to recover a meaningful ideal of civic virtue from [one of] India's foundational texts...," the Mahabharata, which contains the perhaps better-known Bhagavad Gita. Now, Das gives us this highly readable exploration of the classic text's abundant moral contradictions. Das frequently taps the wisdom of Western thinkers such as Plato, Freud, Nietzsche, Adam Smith, and Aristotle, making the Indian classic somewhat more familiar. VERDICT With a superb bibliographic essay, this is highly recommended to all seekers of wisdom and especially to students of Indian philosophy.--James R. Kuhlman, Univ. of North Carolina at Asheville Lib.
