This is a book of astro-biographical sketches, of ten individuals of interest to Rao, some of them known personally to him. The overall tone of the book is Indian/Hindu nationalism. Rao of course means spiritual nationalism, but the word is so discredited, not only in the west, but in India itself, as to be dangerous. Rao is also firmly anti-Islamic, believing them to be militant fanatics at bottom. In this he can be forgiven to some extent, having earned the right to his opinion during the struggles that divided ancient India into Hindu India & Moslem Pakistan, which he witnessed. But I cannot believe it myself, having met many wonderful, secular Moslems in the late 1970`s. The ten horoscopes in the book are analyzed with Rao`s matchless precision.
