This title looks at the Hindu beliefs on justice and equality. Firstly, it will explore the Hindu view on racism by looking at the caste system in India. We will consider how the treatment of the Untouchables was on a par with racism and should not be tolerated. The next chapter will investigate gender issues in Hindu culture, and will show how the treatment of Hindu women has improved considerably in the past fifty years. Following this, the title will describe the Hindu teachings on wealth and poverty, looking at the work of Hindu Aid and the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. The final chapter is about war and peace, and investigates why some Hindus think war is acceptable and others do not. It will look at quotes from the Rig Veda to back up both sides of the argument.
