Dr. Nagarajan has since worked on his 6th, 7th and 8th books on Krishna's Gita as Rajavidya and Manusmriti as Socio-Political Constitution and on Upanishads and Hindu Political Sociology.
Gita enjoys the same status as The Bible and The Koran. In fact it is a major contribution of Krishna (who has later been deified) to socio-political thought and reorganisation of the social polity of Ancient India. Dr. Nagarajan's previous works have been dealing with the transition from the
pre-varna vedic society of Ancient India to the post-vedic varna society which survives to this day. For the first time every one of the seven hundred verses of the Gita has been examined critically with reference to this transition and creation of a new rational social polity. All religiosity and ethnicity have been kept out in order to arrive at a schemata that may be applicable to all societies and civilisations. Many misconceptions about ancient
India and myths and stereotypes built on it have been dispelled in his works including the present one.
Manusmriti, the most discussed Hindu law is being re-examined from a rationalist angle by Dr. Nagarajan in his new work.
As with his previous works, the new research by Dr. Nagarajan would be immensely useful to research scholars and students in Indology and ancient civilizations and also the students of comparative polity and religion.
Dr. Nagarajan has taught at Hislop College, Nagpur, India (1955-66). He was also Principal of Porwal College, Kamptee, India (1966-90).
