The Hindus: An Alternative History
''The Hindus: An Alternative History'' is a book by American Indologist, Wendy Doniger which the author describes as an “alternative to the narrative of Hindu history that they tell.”〔Pankaj Mishra, "('Another Incarnation', )", in ''New York Times'', April 24, 2009〕 The book was initially published by Viking Penguin in 2009 and later in India by Penguin's Indian subsidiary, Penguin India,
The book was critizised in India, and in February 2014 it was the subject of litigation in India for "deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage the feelings of any religious community." As a result of the lawsuit, the book was withdrawn from the Indian market by its Indian publisher, prompting widespread concerns about the state of free speech in India.
==Overview==
The book, published in 2009 by Viking/Penguin, was explicitly intended as an ''alternative'' history of Hinduism, the mainstream history being (in the author's view) written from a male Brahminical and white Orientalist perspectives. Doniger instead portrays the history of Hinduism from the point of view of women, dogs, horses and outcastes in a "playful, iconoclastic, and inherently controversial" style.
