The last Brahmin: life and reflections of a modern-day Sanskrit pandit, tr. from the Telugu by D. Venkat Rao

Sarma, Rani Siva Sankara

Written by a schoolteacher of Sanskrit, this book grapples with the enigma of the Brahmin tradition-its spread over long time periods, its forms and transformations, its implications for India's Hindus and the larger world. Even as it is a philosophical critique of an elite tradition. The last Brahmin emphasizes the enormity of the tasks involved in finding alternatives to that tradition today.;
