A Brahmin Without Caste

In the contemporary world of razzle dazzle which, in Andy Warhol’s immortal observation, provides everybody with fifteen minutes of fame, is there any room for a person like Rishi Kumar Mishra? Yes, there is. Hence this book.
Fortunately, a country more ancient than the hills will, in the ultimate analysis, always place on a higher pedestal what Mathew Arnold called “high seriousness”. The reason why this civilisation has survived the ravages of millennia is precisely because it has placed a high premium on the life of the mind. This ensures the durability of RKM’s legacy. He will not be in the spotlight; he will survive in the sub-stratum of sensitive minds.
