This book as a reference[edit]

The Age of Kali is an overview of many of the most controversial stories and personalities discussed in Indian politics around the year 2000. I put in summaries of the chapters because I think that this book would be a great reference for providing citations to other Wikipedia articles on the popular topics featured in this book. Many other sources about controversies feature only one perspective; I believe that this book could shine as a source for multiple points of view in Wikipedia articles.

The Age of Kali[edit]

The Age of Kali or Kali Yuga. The term "yuga" means "Epoch", or "Age" in Sanskrit. According to classical Vedic writings, the ancient sages and thinkers of the Vedic Civilization viewed time as cyclical; no so much linear as we do in the West. One millennium is divided into four yugas or ages: Satya, Tetra, Dwarpara, and Kali. Hence, Kali Yuga is the last Age of this cycle. The influence of the Age of Kali brings about the worst in human beings. Up to that point, human beings are refined, caring, and concerned with the welfare of all. Once Kali Yuga starts, great disturbances take place in human society. The very first symptom is the "unnecessary killing of animals." Meat-eating becomes prominent, followed by intoxication, dishonesty, uncleanliness, bad habits, disrespect for and abuse of the weak (women and children included), illicit connection with women (of which sexual exploitation is the worst).--Egm108 (talk) 17:07, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
