Sep 09: Westland Non-Fiction is delighted to announce the release of Seeing Equally: An Anthology of Progressive Hindu Voices, an urgent, groundbreaking collection of essays edited by renowned scholar Anantanand Rambachan and social justice advocate Sunita Viswanath.
Grounded in the Bhagavad Gita’s concept of samadarshini, the wisdom of seeing the divine equally in everyone, this anthology serves as a powerful counter-narrative to exclusionary visions of Hinduism. Bringing together diverse voices, including Hindu renunciates based across India and the United States, the book articulates Hindu theology rooted in social justice, anti-caste principles, gender equity and universal dignity.
At a time when religious discourse is increasingly dominated by division, Seeing Equally presents a compassionate call to action, offering a path to spiritual and social liberation free from communalism, patriarchy and xenophobia.
Speaking about the book, Scholar and Author, Anantanand Rambachan said,
“There is a theological vision at the heart of the Hindu tradition that enables us to see all beings as belonging to a single community and that provides the basis for compassionate community in which the dignity of every human being is affirmed and where justice, at all levels, is sought. This is the vision that we want to share in this anthology.”
Social justice advocate Sunita Viswanath added,
“The heart of Hindu faith is love, but we have lost our way. These diverse Hindu religious leaders are inclusive, compassionate and just. They show us the way.”
The book is now available across all major online and offline bookstores.
