Описание к видео Alberuni's India (Tahqiq-i-Hind) An Excerpt - Narrated by Ranjan Kamath (An Audio Book)

Alberuni's readings of a large number of Hindu religious, philosophical and astronomical texts led him to make observations on society that hold even today.

Central to ‘the Hindu world of thought’, writes Alberuni, ‘is that which the Brahmins think and believe, for they are specially trained for preserving and maintaining their religion. And this it is which we shall explain, viz. the belief of the Brahmins’. This declaration makes it clear which section of Indian society – and its ideas, beliefs and values – is the one Alberuni mostly describes in India (i.e., Alberuni’s India, 1030 CE, translated by Edward C. Sachau).
