Hindu | हिंदू धर्म

There is so much to Hindi sahitya that has the essence of the divine as expounded in Hinduism. Exotic India's handpicked collection of books in the vernacular is exhaustive and has been sourced from the obscurest nooks and crannies of the Indian subcontinent. A lot of these are translations from Indian vernaculars of lesser accessibility, whereas some have no translations available from the original Hindi in which they were written. The pleasure of reading Indian literature in Hindi is insurmountable.
