This book is an attempt to re-examine Bankimchandra’s religious thinking in the context of the nineteenth century on the basis of his Srimadbhagabadgita. Written in installments from 1886-88, his little-noted Gita commentary is a key text of nascent modern (or neo-) Hinduism. The analysis following the translation aims at identifying the tools Bankimchandra uses in trying to establish the superiority of Hinduism.
