Abstract

Aristotle had sensibly pointed out that something is better understood in its causes. Sita Ram Goel’s book with its unscholarly, selective approach and its preconceived and forced conclusions betrays the causes that have given birth to it, namely, feelings of hatred and antagonism against Christianity, on the one hand, and those of insecurity and jealousy, on the other, aroused by the growing fascination Jesus exercises on many Hindus.  This explains very well the title and the content of the book.
