Snakes in the Ganga by Rajiv Malhotra and Vijaya Viswanathan is a 692-page revised edition paperback that critically examines the global ideological warfare targeting India's integrity. It details how concepts like critical race theory, originating from US academia, are being adapted to the Indian context, potentially posing a threat to national security and sovereignty. The book explores the influence of these ideologies on India's government, educational institutions, culture, and society.
The authors, Rajiv Malhotra (a researcher in civilizational studies) and Vijaya Viswanathan (an MBA from Wharton), present a comprehensive analysis of how Western frameworks are being imported and implemented within India. They highlight concerns about the 'woke movement' aiming to dismantle Indian civilization and the role of certain Indian elites and institutions in adopting these theories, including their impact on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ratings in corporate workplaces.
This imported edition provides a direct look at the 'Breaking India 2.0' narrative, sourced from authorized US retailers and delivered to India with all customs duties and GST included. It offers a unique perspective for Indian readers seeking to understand the complex interplay of global ideologies and their potential repercussions on India's stability and future.
