SATHAYE, A. A., Crossing the Lines of Caste. Visvamitra and the Construction of Brahmin Power in Hindu Mythology. Oxford University Press, 2015. 334p. Paperback. This book makes us appreciate how fortunate we are to have reached a point where a single young author can show command of texts from multiple periods, genres, and South Asian languages to present an inside story that never stops retelling itself from the Rig Veda into modern times. For a class, or for the general reader, I can think of no better introduction to the peccadillos of Hinduism.
