About this listen

Caste is being used as a major weapon to shame Hindus. This crisp and easy primer presents a powerful counter to Western Universalism's harsh attacks on caste. It is a long over-due toolkit to help all open-minded people gain an understanding of the subtleties of Hinduism's complex social order. This social structure has, after all, produced a civilization with unparalleled diversity. The Vedic world view along with the historical journey of Varna and Jati demolishes the prevailing myths about caste. Myths that are demolished in this book

Topic is ok. But narration, omg where do i even begin. But here are a few points for my displeasure:
1. The Narrator keeps reading words like - bullet point, parentheses etc.. If it is once in a while, it may be okay, but in every other sentence just makes the listening unbearable. I am happy that the narrator has not read commas and full stops.

2. The narrator describes diagrams and tables however the audiobook doesn’t come with reading material. This makes listening meaningless.

3. The topic itself is not a novel or easy listening subject. one needs to give pauses to help listener digest, but narration here is a continous nonstop reading making listening a frustrating experience.

No point in buying unless they re-record with the listener in mind. And the narrator should be well-versed in narrating non-fictions.

Very Badly Narrated
