World Religions An Introduction

Ganga Somany was born a century ago and belonged to another era that believed religion was based on Truth and that simple living and high thinking was a way of life. She was a staunch secularist and an avid follower of Mahatma Gandhi. She wrote this path-breaking book, World Religions thirty-five years ago as a teaching tool for use in school so that children would learn that all religions are based on Truth and that differences, if any, are man-made. In her travels, Ganga found that schools in London would also teach children the rudiments of religion and philosophy—subjects that were not necessarily covered in exams.
