Hinduism contains multitudes -- and is contained by multitudes. Any simple story you tell about it is bound to be false.

In this episode, Amit and Ajay put together a potted history of Hinduism that goes beyond simple narratives and acknowledges its complexity. They also try to make sense of the historical circumstances and incentives that shaped it.
