Socialism in Vedic Literature

It is the book on the Vedas dealing with Modern Topic "Socialism' giving stress on the social aspect of life. Generally people think that the Vedas are more or less the religious text, but it is not so. No doubt these are the books of prayer to gods, more or less the Natural forces. The Vedas advocate the happy and prosperous life in the world for themselves and for others around them. It is only possible by the fair distribution of wealth, equality, brotherhood, fair chances to each for education and procurement of wealth. The scholars have contributed their learned papers and have opened a new Vista, in the field of vedic studies. This book, I hope, will lead you to studies of the Vedas for other than religion and Karmakända. It will provide a chance to youngers and senior scholars to understand the innermost feelings of the early Aryans towards the fellow brothers to see them happier in life. The introduction by the editor enhences the value of the book in admiring the ancient Indian wisdom.
